Opstals rich history dates back to 1847 when JC Rossouw acquired the farm De Opstal bij de Fonteine. Just over a century later in 1950, 4th generation Carl Everson decided to continue making his own wine instead of joining the local co-operative winery like many other producers. The estate is now in its 7th Generation, with Attie Louw making fantastic wine across its three labels. This unique blend creates a wine with multiple dimensions. The nose is a mixture of citrus fruits, mild spice and floral notes and orange peel. The palate is complex, with great acidity and a well-rounded palate. A real gem! Robin Kick MW says "The Carl Everson labels are the flagship, "cream of the crop" wines of Opstal Estate. Their white blend has such polish and flair. Supple and suave yet also with depth and length. Such a great allrounder with subtle oak nuances for added complexity."
