🌟 Kay's Pick of the Month🌟
適合自私chill住飲，又適合多種多樣場合。贊！Terrasse係款混合六種唔同嘅葡萄品種嘅白酒，但千萬唔好睇唔起佢~先嚟一陣柑橘、黑麥芽香氣，口感複雜得嚟又和諧！揮之不去嘅酸甜餘味同淡淡嘅鹹度配搭三文魚、煙燻魚醬餅乾或者多士都無得彈！
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 Blanc from three distinctive vineyards – 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 Blanc from our dryland vineyard ‘Uitkyk’ (planted in 1988) brings fresh acidity, and the drops of Roussanne, Marsanne, and Viognier give this vintage a slight spicy, aromatic lift.
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.
