This wine, whilst made by the Cape Mentelle team has a touch more complexity than its Margaret River sister wine.Bright straw colour. Again, a wine with very judicious use of oak evident, but by no means assertive. Aroma of honey, toast, cashew and spice followed by end notes of biscuit. Creamy texture, with excellent length and persistence. Flavours of hazelnut and cashew persist. A white Burgundy style in the real sense. Crisp acid finish. Aftertaste of biscuit, cashew and hazelnut.
