Spice Route
The new age of the Swartland commenced in 1997 when Charles Back stumbled across an old Tobacco farm Klein Amoskuil. Bewildered by the quality of grapes in a region better known for its wheat and rolling fynbos hills the potential was obvious so Charles set forth to acquire the farm and study its soils and extreme climate. Hence Spice Route Winery was born. Spice Route hand-crafted wines have been brought from the Swartland to the Spice Route Destination in Paarl to be enjoyed by all. Enjoy wine tasting in a rustic underground tasting room or outside under the pergola whilst enjoying the panoramic views of Table Mountain and the Simonsberg Mountain range.
Description
Bright, light yellow colour. Complex nose with tropical fruits and peach followed by subtle flinty notes. The palate is rich and broad with well-balanced acidity from the first picking.
Food Pairing
Given some time in the bottle, this wine will pair well with rich crustaceans or some lightly spiced dishes.
