WINE REGION:
Breedekloof
Breedekloof sits in the western portion of the Breede River Valley region, about 50 miles northeast of Cape Town. Surrounded by mountain ranges, Breedekloof's complex topography and rich array of soil types make it perfect for white wine production. With the Atlantic Ocean not far to the west and the Karoo desert to the east, the sheltered climate here is characterized by sunny days and cold nights. Here Chenin Blanc, Chardonnay and Sauvignon Blanc grapes ripen with great structure and acidity. Pinotage and Syrah also perform well in Breedekloof, developing fine, Rhône-like aromatics as they ripen.

TASTING NOTES:
Mineral
Apricot
Honeysuckle
Aromas of honeysuckle and popcorn delight the nose before giving way to scents of fynbos. A full, waxy body balances intense acidity on the palate, where flavors of slightly sweet apricots accompany a refreshing minerality on the finish.
