Tasting notes

A.A. Badenhorst  Secateurs 2017 - 169KR

Brilliant golden yellow colour. Clear and beautiful.
Peach, honey, apples, lively ripe lemons and hits of wild herbs and oak. Fresh and intriguing nose.

Soft, rich, elegant and with nice splashy spread in the mouth. Butter, lemons and roasted nuts. Nice, fresh and well balanced acidity.
All in all a well balanced and clean wine, with a long and pleasant after taste.

This will make the late summer glow on :)

Enjoy!
