Vriesenhof
Vriesenhof has a history dating back to the early eighteen century where its south facing slopes are perfectly positioned to produce wines of a fine character. The estate has plantings of Cabernet Sauvignon Cabernet Franc Merlot Pinotage and small block of Pinot Noir. You’ll find it between the Helderberg and Stellenbosch mountains amidst the Paradyskloof Valley. Three ranges of superb wines are produced including the labels of Vriesenhof Talana Hill and Paradyskloof. Jan Boland Coetzee is the wine maker of the estate and he has ensured that the position of each variety is planted in the ideal position.
Description
The rich yellow-gold appearance suggests ripeness of style. Aromas of apricots, dried pear and marzipan are complemented by plush oak characters of vanilla pod and subtle toasty notes. The richly textured palate is lifted by limey acidity to reveal flavours of Cape gooseberries and sun-ripened Granny Smith apples. Creamy lees character completes the picture, providing the wine with a long, flavoursome finish.
