Description
From a Stellenbosch vineyard planted in 1978 on granite. Intense aromatics of peach, lemon, naartjie plus a little leesy funk. With great fruit concentration and well-integrated acidity, this has a lovely sweet and sour pull to it, the finish, in turn, having a salty quality to it. 96/100 Winemag.co.za
