Screw cap. Lovely, intense, and elegant nose offers leesy and paraffin aromas mingling with baked apple-pear, stone fruit, herbs, and touches of lemon citrus adding further complexities. The full-bodied palate is rich, creamy, and textured with complex layers of honey, vanilla, oak spice, baked apple-pear, white pepper, white floral, and dried herb flavours in a dry profile. Acids are fresh, zesty, and textured, while leesy mineral with touches of baked apple, dried herb, and citrus linger on the long, juicy, lip-smacking finish. Tasted July 2022.
I found the nose a little muted with just hints of apple and honey. What was outstanding was the flavor of the wine. I was tasting a medium bodied wine nice balance. Some acidity but not too much. Flavors of apple, lime and lemon come to mind.
Fantastic wine at such a low price point.

At once, both ripe yet brisk and refreshing. Complex, long finish, I understand that this seems some wood ageing but nearly indiscernible. As always, a real bargain for us wine lovers but I cannot help but feel for the producer that this does not sell for $25+. South African wines are so often just stupidly undervalued. Lovely to drink now, but I should think that this holds for a few years, perhaps more. Tasted May 2022.
