- A lengthy barrel maturation on gross lees in conjunction with natural fermentation has allowed the wood and fruit to marry well. The results are a complex array of flavours and aromas which are continuously changing as the wine spends more time in bottle. Currently the nose shows nuttiness and marzipan with underlying citrus (grapefruit, nartjie) and hints of white peach aromatics. A firm palate gives backbone the concentrated fruit and the richness of the wine.
