Cape Point Vineyards CWG Reserve White 2013
The grapes for the Reserve White were picked from the Isliedh and Semillon Vineyards on the Cape Point Vineyards property, from extremely weak vines yielding only 3 tons per hectare. The fruit was whole bunch pressed in an oxidative manner and put to barrel without settling. Spontaneous fermentation took place in older 600 litre barrels with the blend compiled directly after ferment. The wine then spent 15 months in barrel with regular battonage before being bottled in June 2014. Tasting Notes: Classic Cape Peninsula maritime freshness and minerality form the backbone of the blend. Citrus, floral elements, spice and lanolin come together on the nose and palate to complement a long, textured finish.
