Grape Varieties:
100% Muscat de Frontignan
Winemaking Method and Maturation:
In a first for South Africa, this wine contains the best barrels from different vintages. Each year, wines are tasted and scored. Only the best barrel from each vintage became part of this final blend.
Wine Tasting Notes:
On colour
The wine is deep amber, with excellent clarity and intensity.
On the nose
Pronounced and complex aromas of citrus peel, toasted hazelnut, honey, subtle oak, and dried raisins fill the glass.
On the palate
Full-bodied and well-balanced, offering flavours of dried apricot, candied citrus, honeycomb, Turkish delight, and well-integrated oak, all supported by crisp acidity.
On the whole
A richly textured wine with vibrant fruit and a lingering finish.
