"Super fragrant with peach blossoms, acacia spice, pears and tangy lime. The name comes from the farm™s terraced vineyards leading up the mountains. The composition is different every year, depending on what the six varieties planted there deliver. A core of stone fruit and distinct orange-citrus is cradled in reams of pears and apples, sewn right through with a mineral, dry acidity. Pure class and a thoroughly modern barrel-fermented Cape white blend."

"A creamy, elegant white blend that has aromas of lemon curd, white peaches, apricots, honeysuckle and crushed stones. It™s medium- to full-bodied, layered and waxy, with excellent freshness. 46% chenin blanc, 20% chardonnay, 14% sauvignon blanc, 10% roussanne, 8% viognier and 2% marsanne. Drink now."

"The 2023 Terrasse spent one hour on the skins and was basked pressed with no bâtonnage. It then matured for 11 months in used 500-liter oak. It has a light apple blossom nose that™s quite austere compared to the previous vintage, with touches of yellow fruit emerging with time. The palate is medium-bodied with a twist of bitter lemon on the entry. Linear and strict, the Chenin bossing the finish. Very fine, but quite minimalist."
