2005 Vergelegen - Flagship White Stellenbosch

(a 67/33 blend of semillon and sauvignon blanc) Very spicy, gravelly aromas of orange, peach and flinty minerals. Silky and glyceral in the mouth, offering a compelling spicy sweetness of orange, lemon and peach fruit, with more tropical notes lurking. This has a thickness of texture and a tactile, dusty finish rare for a dry white wine from South Africa. Sexy already but structured to age. A knockout!
