Winemaker Notes
The limestone and clay componentes in the soil helps the vines to develop strong citrus flavors with a pronounced nuttiness on the mid-palate, which leads through to a clean finish with zesty citrus notes. The wine matures beautifuly, the years adding dimension and complexity.
Enjoy with a leg of lamb, grilled or barbecued meat such as lamb chops and sausages, as well as seafood and grilled fish.

Apple and apricot combine with peach blossom and a touch of honey and toast. Rich and generous with a youthful edge.

Danie began his winemaking career after studying at Geisenheim in Germany, returning to South Africa in the early 1970s to work alongside his father who began the De Wetshof Estate. Over the years, careful planning has gone into soil mapping the estate’s vineyards to identify the ideal terroir for the various varietals Danie nurtures both in the alluvial soils near the Breede River, as well as the lime rich slopes stretching up from the river. The Estate has become renowned for its elegant, award-winning wines and its innovative and advanced used of technology in the vineyard and cellar.
