About this Item
Cape Point Vineyards has one of the Cape's most unique locations, situated on the narrow southern tip of the Cape Peninsula, where it is set rather majestically against the slopes of the famous Chapman’s Peak mountain range and overlooks the nearby Atlantic Ocean – a mere 1,2km’s away. They pioneered the area, single-handedly creating a Wine of Origin demarcation, and established an international reputation and benchmark for unique and age-worthy white wines, most prominently Bordeaux whites.
Auction Year 2010:
Traditional handling in the cellar. Barrel fermented and aged for 11 months in 600 Litre French oak barrels where the wine underwent full malolactic fermentation. The wine received a light filtration before bottling. Drink now or over the next three years.
Tasting note: The blend displays honey, oatmeal and citrus which follow onto a rich palate with good length and freshness.
Winemaker: Duncan Savage
