Sijnn
A beautiful pioneering wine estate in the middle of nowhere at the end of a long, dusty, bumpy road at the Southern tip of Africa. When David and Rita Trafford visited the Malgas region for the first time in 2000, they were blown away with the incredible soils specifically in the Lemoentuin area and immediately set about finding a suitable property to purchase. Today, Sijnn Wines are grown in Malgas along the Breede River - the only first growth appellation in the region.
Description
Lovely, glazed lemon colour. The nose is very fresh and vibrant with an appealing lemon skin nose at the core complimented with the smell of steam coming off the vineyard stones, some spice, apricot pith and a salty nuttiness. Vibrant and zesty palate with depth of fruit and just enough richness to compliment the lovely natural acidity. Beautifully layered and a delicious long finish. It will gain considerable complexity and richness over time without losing its mineral thread.
Food Pairing
Paired well with most dishes ranging from rich dishes like a creamy mushroom Risotto, to a more fresh-styled seared Kingklip and mango salsa.
