The young winemaking couple behind this delicious wine is an interesting story all of their own — she is South African, he is Australian, they met making wine in California, and they have a little kid and a boatload of talent. As this wine shows, they also have a love for energetically acidic wine, as do I, though I didn’t quite expect to find it in this wine (which shows lovely golden color and honeyed aromas up top). The color is explained by some oxygen interchange, as this went through elevage in older 500 liter barrels. The honeyed note doesn’t show up in the midpalate or finish, as this is a rich but truly dry wine with excellent definition.
