The Roussanne, Grenache Blanc and Viognier grapes were picked between 20 and 22.5°Brix, respectively. The fruit was destalked, crushed and then gently pressed. Only free run juice was used, and the individual vineyard parcels were kept separate. The juice was cold fermented in stainless steel tanks and the individual components were left on their lees prior to blending and bottling
Vibrant light green colour in the glass, with layered aromatics of fresh florals, sweet yellow stone fruit and hint of citrus. Palate is fresh with ripe tropical flavours on, followed by a lengthy fresh acidity and a mineral finish. Will drink best 1-2 years after vintage.
The Roussanne, Grenache and Viognier for this blend were all sourced from vineyards grown on the sunny slopes of Paarl Mountain on the Fairview farm, with small portions of cool climate, dryland farmed Viognier and Grenache Blanc components from Darling. The warmer climate contributes the fruity expression of the varieties, and the Darling grapes bring acidity, freshness and elegance. These varieties are all well suited to South Africa’s Mediterranean climate.
A delightful white wine blend at a wonderful price.
