Spioenkop 'Queen Manthatisi' 2018, Elgin 1900
Type | White |
Country/Region | United Kingdom |
Vintage | 1900 |
This wine is named after the legendary Queen Manthatisi of the Batlokwa tribe, a formidable military leader in the 1820s. Made from grapes in the Elgin Valley it is gorgeous blend of barrel fermented Sauvignon Blanc (70%) with dollop of Riesling and Chenin Blanc.
Precise and fresh, with notes of ripe peach, citrus and grapefruit layered with nuances of almond, wet stone and a touch of anise. Harmoniously balanced, the tropical fruit is accented by a lovely earthy savouriness, through to a crisp, fresh finish. A rich and sumptuous white wine!
