This is a bit short and to the point because I’ve raved about Catherine Marshall before. And we don't need another love letter to one of my favourite female...nay, favourite winemakers!

The Wine:

Medium intensity nose of green apples, limes, honey, and yes...traces of kerosene. Take a sip and it’s an explosion of bright bright bright lemons, teensy bit of metallic pineapple, tart apricots, and green apple.

Off dry, medium- bodied, deliciously high acidity, and a medium-ish finish. It’s light but intense.

Vini + Viti:

The grapes are from cool climate Elgin and picked at 19° Balling. The must was settled for 2 days after pressing, inoculated, cold fermentation for 26 days, fined and lightly filtered.

Final Thoughts:

I don’t think I’ve ever known that the distinctive art on the label is by Hannetjie de Clercq. Possible New Years resolution: read the back labels more often! Absolute New Years resolution: pop into Vino Pronto more often!
