De Trafford Straw Wine 2019 Bottle size: 375ml
South Africa, Stellenbosch
R710
'This remarkable sweet wine is made from Chenin Blanc grapes that were dried on straw mats for three weeks. Checking in at 231 grams of sugar, it's a 30% new barrel-fermented delight,
with pineapple, quince and crème brûlée flavours and subtle volatile acidity. One of the Cape's best stickies. 2023-30' – Tim Atkin, MW, South African Special Report 2022, 95/100
'Attractive deep yellow colour. Intense honey, apricot, nuts and passion fruit nose. The palate is sweet and concentrated with just enough acidity and oak tannins to compliment and deliver a long, lingering finish. This wine is a dessert all on its own - a real treat after the meal. Delicious with biscotti and various nuts. Compliments slightly tart fruit desserts and good pate's beautifully.' – Winemaker

| Producer information | De Trafford winery is situated at a height of 380 metres between the Stellenbosch and Helderberg mountains, on a farm called Mont Fleur. Only 18 years after its purchase in 1976, could the vineyards be planted due to quota restrictions. The property is owned and run by the Trafford family with David Trafford as winemaker, and they follow a 'mindful' approach to winemaking. |
