South Africa, Durbanville
R245
‘Floral notes of honeysuckle and orange blossom together with apricot, peach, white pear and tangerine zest follow onto the palate where a creamy and leesy texture is combined with notes of almond and smoke. The zesty acidity provides the structural backbone of the wine. The finish is dry with a pleasant pithiness.’ – Winemaker
