This is a glorious, complex wine that brings two worlds together – tradition and modernity. 67-year-old vines at 200 to 250 m on the region’s special opoka soil provided the fantastic, concentrated grapes for this wine. It was fermented for 16 days with skins in concrete eggs (made with stones from the vineyard), and has amazing aromatic expression of orange blossom, spice, wild herbs, and peach fruit. The palate is intense and sapid, very pure and bright, with ripe peach notes, orange zest and a touch of spice, underscored by a mineral core and superfine tannins. A wine with a long life ahead of it too.
Food matching ideas: We recommend it with white meat, herbed grilled fish, walnut and blue cheese, pasta, lightly spiced curries
