The golden hue and subtle green undertones denote the warmer vintage of 2020. The nose follows the look of the wine showing a warm welcoming richness with a lemon-curd undertone serving to add interest to the accompanying light toasty notes. The body of the wine is round and balanced with a fresh acidity bringing tension into the wine while the palate shows honey melon and a rounded toasty oak all balanced by a complex zesty minerality.

The 2020 vintage saw a further drop in temperature as the rainfall continues to return to normal levels. This vintage’s conditions are reminiscent of that of 2014, with decent rainfall across the Winelands giving the vines the opportunity to grow a healthy crop size while the cooler temperatures allowed for a long hang time for the grapes leading to fully ripened phenolics and tannins. This vintage is known for great structure and elegance with the ability to age gracefully for many years.
