Description

“The solitary wolf roams the herd like a true rebel, looking for the best to feast on. Like a one-man wolf pack, bush vines stand alone in the dry summer months trying to hide from the extreme conditions.” The limited production of grapes resulted in small berries with concentrated aromas and flavours. The grapes were hand-harvested from old bush vines in the Swartland region, and fermented in 2nd and 3rd fill French oak barrels for 9 months. The wine was kept on the lees for the duration of the barrel maturation. In the glass the wine is pale straw in colour with a bright golden tinge. Lemon pepper and clove notes are evident on the nose with stone fruit and baked pear on the palate. This wine shows great complexity, texture and an abundance of flavour. Pairs beautifully with spicy food and mild cheeses.
