Simonsig Mediterraneo 2015
66% Roussanne, 28% Grenache Blanc, 6% Verdelho
Wine of Origin Stellenbosch 
Carefully selected high-altitude vineyards in Stellenbosch and the oldest Verdelho vineyard in South Africa provided the grapes. Hand-picked and hand selected before the grapes were cooled overnight. Whole bunch pressing gave only the most delicate free run juice which was fermented in seasoned French oak with wild and cultured yeast. Minimal interference was used but did include battonage during the nine months on primary lees. The delicate fruit was preserved with minimal oak influence.
Tasting Notes: Beautiful freshness with zesty citrus rind and lime aromas followed by sweet riper yellow apple and subtle oak characters. Extra years in bottle have brought delicious texture and layers of complexity.
