Groot Phesantekraal
Groot Phesantekraal is a Durbanville wine estate where Atlantic sea breezes meet the warmer inland climate. With a focus on limited-production Cabernet Sauvignon, Shiraz, Sauvignon Blanc, Chenin Blanc and Pinotage, the estate produces characterful South African wines shaped by its north-eastern Durbanville site.
Description
The 2024 Anna de Koning opens with vibrant and expressive aromas of unripe pineapple, white pear, honeysuckle, and a subtle hint of dried grass-an elegant nod to its cool-climate origins. On the palate, the wine strikes a seamless balances between richness and finesse, with a dense, layered texture lifted by a bright mouthwatering acidity. A distinct saline minerality runs through the wine, while the fruit remains pure and finely etched. The finish is long and lingering, echoing notes of citrus zest and wet stone.
Food Pairing
Pairs beautifully with grilled seafood, roast chicken, creamy pasta dishes and soft cheeses. The wine's texture and freshness also complement shellfish, Mediterranean cuisine and dishes featuring fresh herbs.
