Production Details A new venture for us, (we hope to emulate the Mossel rieslings with some additional Durbanville flair). After whole bunch pressing and copious amounts of CO2 to prevent oxidation, we are really chuffed with what's in the bottle, lovely rose petal with strong lime and steely backbone, lots of potential to become really exceptional. The grapes for this vintage were bought in from Darling but we are currently (Aug 08) planting our own "real" riesling (ie Weisser not Cape) - these grapes will come into production in 2011.
Tasting Notes
lovely rose-petal and sweetpea florals, impressions of patisserie, seville oranges and marmalade with slick, clean finish
