HANSCORE: 21/25 

👃🏼  The nose started out slightly shy on day 1, but by day two it was wilder and woolier than Chewie in the winter – notes of peach blossom, Grenache blanc-esque mandarin elements, beeswax, oatmeal, apricots, hints of oak, some green grassy elements…the list goes on.

👄 The palate is pleasantly full, with generous fruit elements; apricot and peach, as well as some pleasant green apple acidity, and more stone fruit tartness toeards the aft. Mouthfeel has a delightfully waxy texture, which carries right into the tail where a dusting of white pepper spice and some almond elements emerge as an encore.

🔬 Fruit from Voor-Paardeberg. Grapes were picked ripe (24.5 balling) and it shows in the rich result. Wine was transferred from tank to old oak barrels mid-fermentation.
