This  complex, mineral-driven white wine with intense aromas of wildflowers, oatmeal, lemon cream, and pear, offering a rich palate of peach, quince, and spice with zesty acidity and a long, textured finish, making it a distinctive and age-worthy wine with potential for pairing with creamy pasta, fish, or aged cheese.  Showcasing the potential of Roussanne with its interplay of fruit, minerality, and structure, making it a great choice for those seeking something beyond typical South African whites. 

Sourced from Voor-Paardeberg, this wine was matured for 10 months, 75% in old 300-litre barrels and 25% in amphorae. The nose shows peach, citrus, potpourri, and spice. The palate has both presence and depth – dense fruit, well-integrated acidity, and a savoury finish. Layers of flavour, the finish persistent. Alc: 13.36%. What do expect from this variety under local conditions? I’m not sure I know conclusively but this points the way. CE’s rating: 94/100.
