A lovely complex nose of quince, pineapple, and cape gooseberry with pickled ginger, white blossoms and vanilla. The layered flavours continue onto the palate, rich and textured with subtle acidity, and a medium body. The intensity and richness of fruit on the palate make this a versatile pairing wine and indicate good aging potential.

Certified heritage bush vines planted in 1988 and 1986 are dryland farmed in deep sandy soils. At an altitude of 520m above sea level, the vineyards experience a warm climate with cooling evening winds. Grapes were harvested on six dates, with different picks providing a range of aromatic characters. Two early picks bring fresh acidity. Two middle picks add balance and perfectly ripe tropical fruit characters. The final two picks of smaller bunches and berries added deep concentration and palate weight to the resulting wine.

Donkiesbaai

Donkiesbaai on the West Coast of South Africa has been the vacation home to the Engelbrecht family for four generations. The grapes for this wine come from the small region of Piekenierskloof. The complexity of this wine comes from the unique Piekenierskloof climate which allows us to produce an elegant yet approachable wine.
