The Keermont Fleurfontein flows from a clear golden yellow into glass and exudes an enchanting bouquet of kiwi, dried apricots and citrus fruit as well as fine hints of fragrant vanilla and hazelnut. On the palate this lovely dessert wine is full-bodied and creamy with concentrated nuances of dried fruit and marzipan. The fresh acidity gives the wine a long, complex, juicy and concentrated finish with a subtle salty touch.
The Keermont Fleurfontein ("Fountain of Flowers") takes its name from the farm's beautiful fountain, which is located very close to the Sauvignon Blanc vineyard from which the grapes for this golden drop come.

For the production of this sweet dessert wine, the berries were removed from the stalk while they were still ripening on the vine to cut off the water supply to the berry. This process allows the grapes to dry naturally during the warm summer months, still attached to the vine, and be harvested in the form of sweet raisins. In the cellar, the syrupy juice is obtained through a hard pressing process and fermented in Hungarian and French oak barrels using local yeast cultures. After the alcoholic fermentation was completed, the wine spent 18 months in barriques.
