Villion Wines
Terroir forms the basis of the whole Villion wine range. Villion Family Wines does not limit itself to use fruit only from a specific ward, but uses the strengths of fruit from different wards within the Cape South Coast region. These cool climate, handcrafted wines are made using environmentally friendly and traditional methods which include spontaneous and open top fermentations as well as limited yields and high-altitude sites.
Description
Decadent entry of saline oystershell and freshly cut ripe yellow peach slices, revealing the wine’s spontaneous oak-fermentation nature and maritime origin. Perfumed layers of sweet cinnamon spice, vanilla pod and caramel custard. Subtle crushed stone flint and light lime and lemon peel, completes the intriguing bouquet. Confident, light in body with a dried peach acidity, supported by saline-textured dominance. Lingering flinty mouthfeel, perfectly in balance with beautiful oyster-shell freshness, carried by a mouthwatering chalky pithiness, all attributed to the 40-year age of the vines.
