This unique Straw Wine style has now come across some of the most unique Hanepoot in South Africa. After being hand-selected, these special bunches finds themselves on straw mats to dried for two weeks until they reach a sugar Ballingof 40* or higher. This insures that the already intense Hanepoot characters are even more concentrated. The raisin-like grapes are gently pressed and fermented in French oak barrels until the time is right to find its final resting place in this beautiful bottle. There are only about 2000 bottles made each year and they get sealed with wax by hand. This wine displays wonderful yellow stone fruit notes, honey and ripe citrus on the nose. It is balanced and zesty, with a lovely acidity. It goes wonderfully with a cheese board and it is interesting to see how different cheeses affect the viscosity of the wine.
