Western Cape, South AfricaProtea is South Africa's national flower, and its part of the impressive packaging that makes this wine look like it tastes. The grapes come from Swartland and Voor-Paardeberg, and are gently whole bunch pressed and fermented in stainless steel, staying in contact with lees for two months. Clean and mostly crisp, it has a distinct lemon-lime attack with peach and fresh cut herbs. The lees have given it just a twist of texture and weight for mouth presence. Impressive for the price, although the twist-off real cork is as goofy as it gets. Not sure who it is catering to, but it's not Canadians. Screwcap, please, and watch your sales soar.Tasted: 30 May 2020Tasted by: Prices:
Western Cape, South AfricaProtea is South Africa's national flower, and this wine, and beautifully distinctive label, pays tribute to the beautiful bloom. These grapes come from Swartland and Voor-Paardeberg, and were whole bunch pressed and fermented in stainless, where it remained on lees for 2 months. Crisp and bright with hedgerow, lime pulp, lemon blossom, and white peach, this charms with alternating darts of light lees and bright acidity, to a subtly spiced finish. Packaging bonus : this is sealed in an innovative twist off cork. Smart wine, smart packaging.Tasted: 04 June 2020Tasted by: Prices:
