Crushed lemongrass, ginger and lime blossom float up; the aromatics are so clean, fresh and stony. Reveals itself slowly, a hint of fynbos honey, key lime pie. There’s a real muscularity to the body with a generous heft of Sémillon, and a steely-acidity honed in the cool Elgin nights. Green apples and lemony-citrus slides across a lick of creamy oak (barrel fermentation and maturation in older oak). From low-yielding vines planted Table Mountain sandstone soils.
