Survivor Wines
Travelling through the Swartland on the back of a truck, heading towards an auction, a Nguni cow knew a beautiful vineyard when she saw one and jumped off. She was appropriately named Survivor when the grower found her grazing in his vineyard. Pierre Wahl excels at creating powerful and elegant wines, choosing to showcase the cultivar’s fruit characteristics, embraced by an old-world elegance in structure and texture. A masterfully crafted fine wine brand that speaks to inner strength, roots, character and refined taste.
Description
Opening the bottle and pouring the first glass, one cannot miss the defining lime hue adding a zesty appeal to this lemony-coloured wine. As it engulfs the glass, delicate strings of bubbled beads trail to the surface, persistent and beautiful to look at. The zesty lime colour is repeated in a citrus-rich perfume of lemon verbena, lemon basil, lemongrass and the sap of spring buds. Parallel to this, the wine shares a generous bouquet of ripe quince, greengage plum, kiwi and thyme with vivid coolness reminiscent of wet river stones. Upon taste, a creamy viscosity steers the wine to the back of the palate. Here it explodes with tantalizing freshness as the mousse fills your mouth before settling on the sides of your palate with a savoury intensity.
