Nose:
Expressive aromas of lime zest, gooseberry, and nectarine are lifted by hints of nettle and a delicate oak spice, showing both freshness and sophistication.

Palate:
The palate is generous and textured, with layers of citrus and stone fruit balanced by a fine natural acidity. A flinty mineral edge adds length and focus, creating a precise finish.

Ageing Potential:
Enjoy now for vibrancy, or cellar for 3-5 years to gain honeyed, toasty complexity. The Semillon component ensures depth over time.

Food Pairings:
Seared tuna, oysters, and salmon sashimi. Locally, pair with fresh West Coast oysters or steamed asparagus with hollandaise.

Moment Pairing:
Ideal for sundowners by the coast, elegant lunches under the trees, or as a showpiece wine at special occasions.

Vineyards & Harvest:
From cool south-facing vineyards overlooking False Bay. Soils of decomposed granite with clay subsoils help preserve acidity and fruit expression. Grapes were hand-harvested in the cool mornings.

Vinification:
Grapes were crushed and given 6-8 hours skin contact before pressing. Fermentation took place in a mix of French oak barrels (10% new), concrete eggs, and older barrels. The wine matured 8 months on lees for added richness and complexity.
