Tasting Notes:
On the nose, this wine immediately presents aromas of lime, lemon, and elderflower, which are complemented by distinct flinty notes and hints of grapefruit zest. On the palate, this is a refined wine with flavours of lime, grapefruit and passionfruit, which are perfectly balanced by a fine acidity and subtle oak complexity. The finish is long and layered, leaving a lasting impression of finesse.
Review:
Vinous
The 2021 White Reserve comes from two parcels, one southerly facing with some Koffeeklip, the other a portion of a block more southeast-facing. This is whole bunch and settled naturally, aged in 70% new oak for around ten months without sulfur additions. It has a very understated bouquet, well-defined, with that oak deftly integrated to the point that it is barely noticeable. The palate is well-balanced with good weight, fresh with orange peel and lemon rind, and a touch of stem ginger towards the finish. There’s good weight and persistence; this should age with class.
