Roodekrantz Wines
We believe wines are made in the vineyard. Careful vineyard selection is therefore key to our results. Very close relationships with growers ensure sustainable vineyard practices and deliver consistent quality in the bottle. The role of the viticulturist is to guide our growers to produce the best possible quality fruit. In the ideal world the role of our winemaking team is to capture the essence of the fruit in the bottle. We do not believe in heavily wooded wines and use of “New Oak”. For us a barrel is largely a very practically designed vessel to facilitate the development of the intrinsic qualities of the grapes. So, it is all about the grape. We have access to some of the finest certified old vineyard blocks (older than 35 years) in the Industry. This segment of our business is becoming particularly interesting and we strive to keep these vineyards in the ground.
Description
Fragrant tropical and stone fruit aromas on the nose followed by rich round layers of white peach, hints of pineapple and citrus with a subtle hint of vanilla on the finish. The wine is pleasantly fresh with a lingering finish. The complexity and structure coming from the old vineyard fruit will enable the wine to improve and age very well in bottle.
Food Pairing
Delicious with pasta salads, rich chicken and fish dishes
