WINEMAKERS COMMENTS: The good winter really helped this older vineyard and resulted in a good crop. With it being over 30 years old, a yield of 3.5 tons/hectare is actually quite high. The oaking is subtle making the wine approachable early on, but it will drink well up to at least 2011.
TASTING NOTE: Pale, golden colour. Fresh melon mingles with spicy peach aromas with a fragrant lift hinting at gentle oaking. Palate shows fullness of fruit, balancing acidity and oaking. Some green apple flavours with citrus preserve and almond character showing on the long, rich finish.

| Wijngoed informatie | "Five centuries ago the ancient mariners braved uncharted seas to round the Cape in search of exotic spices. Their nerve and dash inspired Charles Back to found the Spice Route Winery in 1997. Charles had bought the farm Klein Amoskuil, and this Malmesbury based farm is now home to Spice Route's Swartland terroir styled wines.The Spice Route Winery has found its signature wine style in the warm rolling hills along the Cape West Coast. Matching traditional practices in the vineyards with modern, minimalist approaches in the cellar, they produce exceptionally ripe and deep-flavoured wines. The deep red soils sustain unirrigated bush vine through the long warm summers. These harsh conditions are tempered by cool Atlantic breezes rolling in overnight. In its few years since inception had a stratospheric climb into the top echelons of the South African wine industry." |
