Christian Dauriac, a doctor as well as a Bordeaux vineyard owner, also has this lovely property in Simonsberg, between Paarl, Franschhoek and Stellenbosch. The wine has a touch too much sulphur evident on the nose right now as it was only recently bottled, but it passes with a swirl to reveal excellent aromatics with a clear floral edge, great persistency and a well fleshed-out mid-palate. The juice was fermented and matured for nine months, 25% in new French acacia barrels, 25% in second-fill French oak barrels and 50% in stainless steel tanks. Again, there's no overly insistent oak presence.
