Independent Winemakers White

Benz: This package contains top wines from two of South Africa's top independent winemakers. These producers are not restricted to their own vineyards, but travel thousands of kilometers along the Cape of Good Hope to select and buy the best grapes for their wines and harvest them with their own harvest teams. This is where unique products are created with great finesse and no two products are the same. An inspiring package that will make the hearts of all lovers of top South African wines beat faster. Included in the package O - Velaphi? Chardonnay 2017 A blend of green and yellow citrus, hay and white flowers, wet slate, fine orange, honey, toasted flakes, lime marmalade, crushed oyster shell and bold acidity with a brisk lemon-salt twang on the finish of this smooth wine. Best served decanted and very slightly chilled. Cellaring is recommended as this smooth wine will gain in years to come. RRP: 18.60 CHF Fume Sauvignon Blanc 2019 Hand-harvested fruit from high altitudes with a cool climate, barrel fermented and matured "sur lie" in old French barrels. Regular batonnage, careful cellar technology, unfiltered and unfined: A special Sauvignon Blanc - nuanced, layered, smooth and far from the "mainstream". As an aperitif, with a brine with lemon butter, with ceviche, squid or mussels - amazing! RRP: 14.20 CHF Jikken Bareru Elgin Riesling 2018 Cold fermented with champagne yeasts. Bottled after fermentation with a light filtration to preserve the acidity, tangy citrus fruit aromas, floral aromas and spice flavors. Intended for years of cellaring to fully enjoy its complexity. RRP: 9.60 CHF Chenin Blanc 2019 The Chenin Blanc shimmers light yellow with a hint of green. Aromas of lemon biscuit, vanilla pod and yellow apples, anise and pineapple tickle the nose. The wine has a lot of fruit on the palate with natural acidity and a long finish. RRP: 14.60 CHF Equilibrium 2019 The wine shimmers in the glass in a rich yellow with a hint of green reflections on the rim. The nose has aromas of quince, flowers and mandarin. The wine has intense fruit aromas with a rich mouthfeel on the palate. RRP: 16.20 CHF Seitensprung Riesling 2016 Every year, winemaker Carsten Migliarina takes a step outside the box - no, not in the usual sense, but rather: every year he makes an experimental wine from a grape variety that is not yet part of his wine line. Without any pressure or expectation, a special wine is created every year, this year his experimental Riesling from the Cape. Coming from a single vineyard in the Elgin Valley, this Riesling has aromas of green mangos, lychee and peach on the nose. On the palate, the wine has a lot of fruit with a very refreshing and natural acidity. RRP: 19.90 CHF
