Riesling is one of the most noble, elegant and interesting grape varieties of all. The Spioenkop Riesling is a dry wine with wonderful aromas. A reflection of the unique Elgin region. A finesse-rich blend of aromas conquers the nose with intense aromas of peach, fresh lime and fine yeast. A somewhat sprightly note rounds it off. Its structure on the palate is in wonderful balance, full-bodied, fruity, mineral with an excellent length.

Treatment in the cellar

The grapes were picked by hand, put into small 18 kg boxes and stored at night at 3°C, then carefully destemmed and lightly crushed. Very carefully the grapes were crushed in steel basket presses. After four hours of contact on the skins, the juice was fermented naturally at 13-17°C.
