This wine shows fresh citrus on the nose that develops into tropical notes of melon and white pineapple. On the palate the wine has a zesty acidity, bold tropical fruit following through from the nose along with flavours of peach and nectarine adding complexity. A creamy lemon curd texture and notes of beeswax round out the palate, finishing with rich but fresh tropical fruit.

The vintage was characterized by a moderate summer, after a relatively warm, dry winter. Cooler days and nights during ripening resulted in slower sugar accumulation, while phenolics developed steadily. Cooler weather also allowed for longer hang time, resulting in more fruit development. Grapes are selected from various sites located in the Stellenbosch region, with each site contributing different characteristics to create complexity in the wine.

Jean Engelbrecht along with his friends Dillie Malherbe and Jannie Durand set out to create a wine that would not only embody all that is Stellenbosch but that would also pay homage to this great town at the heart of the Cape winelands. Each wine in this range pays tribute to an historical landmark in Stellenbosch.
