TASTING NOTES
Michelangelo International Wine Award 2002 - Gold
Colour: Rich straw with a green hue.
Nose: Upfront, bold and aromatic with a melange of litchi, peach and spice aromas.
Palate: All the aromas are carried through to the rich, full palate which has a hint of sweetness and good acid to finish. The flavours linger invitingly on the aftertaste. Overall a robust, ample-bodied wine, brimming with spice, peach, litchi and tropical fruit flavours, remarkable aromatics and a generous mouthfeel.
THE HARVEST
The grapes were hand-picked from a five-year-old vineyard, in the Paardeberg area. They were picked at optimum ripeness.
IN THE CELLAR
The grapes were fermented, using the natural yeast on the berries. The wine was left in French oak barrels for a further seven months before bottling.
