On a clear day one has a beautiful panoramic view of the mountains overlooking the Cape Peninsula.
Description
This approach resulted in a more structured wine that required longer bottle maturation before release. The green pepper, fig and slightly smoky character was nicely complemented by some oak spice. This wine should keep for up to 5 years and the new style typifies the terroir it grows in. This is an exciting departure from what we usually did, and it embraces new trends in winemaking to ensure greater versatility with food.
Food Pairing
lightly cooked shellfish like oysters and shell-on prawns, fresh crab and simply grilled fish such as sea bass.
