Bright pale golden colour with viscous appearance in the glass. Floral and honey notes combine perfectly with the spicy cinnamon sugar and toasty oak aromas fusing in an inviting complex nose. The palate is filled with the mouth watering flavours of caramelised baked apples and dried apricots and pears. The typical zesty acidity. AWARDS: 91pts Tim Atkin 'Best of South-Africa'.

works wonderfully with sushi to piquant ripe creamy cheeses like Epoisse or Camembert.
