Expressive tropical fruit aromas and floral notes on the nose are complemented by crisp, mineral acidity - while a hint of oak adds texture and structure to the palate.
The grapes for this Cawte’s Cave wine are farmed organically and represent the pure natural taste of the place from where they are grown. The grapes were harvested in the cool morning and the juice cold settled for 48 hours prior to racking to stainless steel tanks and a portion (10%) to seasoned oak for ferment. Cultivated yeast was used for the tank portion while indigenous yeast was used for the oak portion. The wine was then racked and left to mature on fine lees for 4 months before bottling.

It is elegantly expressed on the nose showing grapefruit, green apple, white nectarine and lime zest aromas. The palate delivers fine texture and excellent focus, backed by delicate fruit intensity and racy acidity, leading to a lingering mouth-watering finish. A restrained style offering pristine fruit flavours with a taut mouthfeel
