Suitable for selfishly chilling and drinking, as well as various occasions. Terrasse is a white wine blended with six different grape varieties, but don't underestimate it. It starts with hints of citrus and malt aroma, and the taste is complex yet harmonious. The lingering sweet and sour aftertaste, along with a subtle saltiness, pairs well with salmon, smoked fish dip on crackers or toast.
ABOUT THE WINE
Terrasse is our barrel fermented white blend which derives its name from the terraced vineyards leading up the mountains on the estate. We have six different white wine varieties planted on these terraces and every year we make up a unique blend depending on what the year gives us. The base is Chenin Blancย from three distinctive vineyards โ our old vine Riverside block planted in 1971, the dryland bush vine Bobbejaan Wingerd (Baboon Vineyard), and the trellised Low Road vineyard. The other varieties add complexity and create a more complete wine. Chardonnay gives a little more weight on the palate, Sauvignon Blancย from our dryland vineyard โUitkykโ (planted in 1988) brings fresh acidity, and the drops of Roussanne, Marsanne, and Viognier give this vintage a slight spicy, aromatic lift.
ย
The Terrasse 2022 has an inviting aroma with notes of spring flowers, ripe apricots and citrus, and a hint of fennel. The palate is soft and luscious, with lovely fresh acidity and an array of flavours: ripe apricot, peach and quince flavours complimented by richer more spicy savoury fruit. This follows into a lingering aftertaste with salty acidity. Drink 2023-2035.
