Alheit Vineyards La Colline Vineyard 2016

Franschhoek Valley, Paarl, Coastal Region, South AfricaOld vine Franschhhoek sémillon from 1936 – a pre-clonal, 16th C massale selection. Primary, earthy pear, herbal meadow rules this youthful, savoury wine. A hint of browning butter, flake salts and earthy lees seasons the whole. This is not about the grape. Beauty now, and will age a decade easy. A real stunner.Tasted: 29 May 2017Tasted by: Treve RingPrices:
