Tasting Notes

Made from the juice that runs freely from the press, not the hard pressings, this technique enhances the elegant, balanced character that is inherently found in the grapes that grow at the cool southern tip of Africa, near the village of Elim. Refreshingly herbaceous with zesty green pepper, passion fruit, fig and lime flavours.
