Sourced from a select vineyard on the Helderberg Mountain, the wine reflects the estate's philosophy of expressing site-specific character through meticulous viticulture and minimal intervention. Whole-bunch pressed before fermentation in French oak barrels, the wine was matured for 11 months in French oak, 31% of which was new, with regular lees contact to build texture and complexity while preserving freshness and mineral precision. Bottled at 12.5% ABV.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTASTING NOTES\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNose: \u003c\/strong\u003eElegant aromas of white peach, citrus blossom and lemon zest are layered with ripe pear, toasted hazelnuts, subtle vanilla and delicate flinty minerality.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePalate: \u003c\/strong\u003eBright citrus and stone fruit flavours unfold alongside notes of nectarine, preserved lemon and crisp green apple.
