A fresh and linear vintage showing fresh spearmint and green apple at first, before the fruit broadens and is joined by butterscotch, golden delicious apple and yellow pear. The aromatics are lovely and flora, with a steely edge. A full and layered palate is given complexity and tension with a saline finish.

About the Winery

More often than not, the passion for wines will bring you back into the wine industry, regardless of how distant you are from the same. This is what happened with the Finlayson brothers in South Africa as well. Though they belonged to the third generation of the famous Finlayson winemakers in this area, they weren’t involved in the family’s winemaking business forever, like most other kids. While Andrew went on to study architecture, Peter-Allan pursued his studies in philosophy and economics at the Stellenbosch University. Though they studied completely different subjects, their love for winemaking united them.
