Wolftrap White-Boekenhoutskloof 750ml

2020 was a good year for white grapes. Adequate winter rainfall provided
more soil moisture and healthy; larger canopies ensuring a balanced crop. The
majority grapes for our white blend emanates from the Swartland, and the
wine typifies this profile. It over-delivers in every sense. The Viognier brings a
rich, ripe fruitiness on the nose with its alluring peach melba aromas. Our
Chenin offers acidity for balance and freshness, with layered fruitiness on the
mid-palate. We always use Grenache Blanc in our blend for its gentle yellow
plum and slightly zesty character and elegance. Blending these three varieties
is easy when the components deliver such opulence and abundant flavours.
The resulting wine is easy-drinking, yet with enough sophistication to enjoy
with complex dishes - the perfect choice for pairing.
TASTING NOTE
The nose is bold, intense, and rich with its stone fruit aromas of cling peach,
nectarine and yellow plum and gentle whiffs of angelica, spice, and fresh
ginger. The palate is focused and balanced, with yellow apple flavours,
honeydew melon, papaya, poached pear and hints of dragon fruit and lime
adding to its complexity. The wine is medium-bodied, elegant, and vibrant
with zesty yet integrated acidity. It is clean and dry on the mid-palate, with
notes of crisp green apple and tangerine lingering on a refreshing finish.
