Winemakers comments A dry, steely, slow burning Riesling with a very nice freshness.
On the nose fine mineral fragrances of ferricrete soil, charcoal and ginger in a tight corset is observed. Furthermore, unripe pineapple, white stone fruit and fennel with strong undertones of quince and lemon are experienced. The palate has the typical Spioenkop waxy mouthfeel. Here’s to a full bodied and perfectly feminine wine.
