Cape Of Good Hope
This is a range created in recognition of the Cape of Good Hope’s vinous heritage which stretches back more than 350 years when the first Governor of the Cape planted grapes. These unique wines are the result of irreplaceable parcels of old vines and site specific terroirs. The labels reflect the grape variety as well as the origin and singular characters behind them.
Description
Nectarine, quince and citrus notes mingle on the nose, underpinned by a subtle chalk or hot stone aroma. Harmony and balance are the overriding characteristics of this wine in the mouth. Rich and rewarding, the vibrant fruit – apricot, bright nectarine and poached quince – are subtly framed by creamy oak and a leesy breadth. The integration of fruit and oak is seamless and both are livened by the fresh tang of acidity. Structured and characterful, the palate retains a lightness and gentle vivacity. Balanced and long with a zesty citrus note on the tail.
Food Pairing
Pair with mild seafood/shellfish, roast chicken or curries.
