2021 Fleurfontein, Keermont

From bunches which have their stems bent, to encourage shriveling, this is a brilliant sweet wine from Alex Starey. Notes of jasmine and manuka honey, and also a core of focussed citrus, here. So complex, and so delicious.

Tasting notes

Consistently among the Cape's sweet wine elite, this is an unusual blend of Sauvignon Blanc and 24% Roussanne. Naturally fermented in French and Hungarian oak, it has layers of passion fruit, pineapple and mango, intense 225 grams of residual sugar and a tangy, tarte tatin finish. The volatile acidity is commendably low for the style. 2024-30
