Silwervis
The Silwervis wines are hands-off wines where we want the taster to experience a sense of place and terroir that being the Paardeberg which is featured as the back drop on the label of the wine. The label is a union of past and present. The past represented by the devil where people farmed aggressively and without care the present represented by the mermaid which highlights the delicate nature of our approach of natural winemaking.
Description
The nose presents with floral notes of jasmine, lemon peel, fennel and clove spice notes and high notes of musk, forget-me-nots and lilac. The texture of the wine is rounded but delicate with a weighty, slightly waxy finish. Notes of saline, mineral and iodine are characteristics picked up from the terroir of the granite soils which compliment the fruit driven flavours of citrus, apricot and raw almond waxyness familiar with Chenin Blanc off old vines.
Food Pairing
Best paired with fresh salads, tapas style meals of olives, charcuterie, and cheeses or light meat dishes such as chicken, pork and pastas.
