Bursting with aromas of fruit salad, vanilla, and lemon meringue, this wine draws you in with its richness and charm. Layers of white pineapple, dried apple, and a hint of chamomile add lovely depth. The palate is dry and full, with vibrant acidity balancing the ripe fruit. Subtle notes of almond biscotti, lemon curd, and a touch of white pepper bring extra complexity, leading to a creamy, lingering finish.

Certified heritage bush vines planted in 1988 and 1986 are dryland farmed in deep sandy soils. At an altitude of 650m 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.
