When KWV want to make amazing wines, it’s easy for them to do so. This is another bottle that proves the point.
—
A superbly ripe, rich, layered take on the grape from KWV The Mentors winemaker Izele van Blerk. 👃🏼 Nose carries a hint of reductive flint, tinned queen pineapple, peaches, lemon blossom, and chalk dust. 👄 On the palate, pineapple and naartjie fruit abounds. Juicy citrus acidity and sherbet elements offset the sweet tropical fruit. 🔬 Fruit is all from the rather warm Wellington and Paarl regions. 90% of the components were barrel-fermented with native yeasts. The wine was left on the lees for 280 days after fermentation. with regular batonage.
