Weather wise this was a tricky vintage, lots of unseasonal rain which caused marginal conditions but very often such wet vintages are considerably cooler than the dry years. Cooler conditions manifest in brighter and more fruity wines, where in particular, this bottling is very expressive and exuberant with lots of out flowing luscious flavour.

The defining feature of this label is its Riesling dominance. This is arguably the only white blend from the Cape which has its principle component as the Riesling grape. Of further interest here is that this vintage comprises of six different grape types whereas in the past there have normally been five. The Riesling content at 49% is the same as for vintage 2008 which means there ought to be close similarities between these vintages. The balance is Viognier 22%, Chenin Blanc 10%, Sauvignon Blanc 10%, Chardonnay 5% & Semillon 4%.

Deliciously fragrant with lush upfront fruit driven mouth feel revealing ample rich tropical kiwi and peach undertones. Layers of gooseberry ending a lingering honest pleasing finish.
