Iona
Iona is the coolest vineyard in the Cape 420m above sea-level high above the picturesque Elgin Valley. It is surrounded by the Kogelberg Nature Reserve and overlooks the Atlantic Ocean in the South. In a country where cool sites are precious these vineyards are like gold — the grapes ripening up to two months later than other Cape vineyards and in perfect balance.
Description
The 2022 vintage showcases rich layers of lemongrass, greengage, and pink grapefruit, with a background of herbal and salty undertones. It is known for its vibrant acidity, subtle wood integration, and long, zesty finish.
Food Pairing
Pairs well with seafood dishes, particularly those with Southeast Asian influences such as lime, chili, and coriander. It also complements Thai fish cakes and dishes with fresh herbs.
