BOEKENHOUTSKLOOF THE WOLFTRAP WHITE 2021

Winery notes (2021 Vintage)
"The Wolftrap is a tribute to the pioneers who ventured into the Cape wilderness in the early days and erected a wolf trap on Boekenhoutskloof. To date, no wolf, either real or mystical, has been seen in the valley.

A bold nose entices with its abundance of nectarine, peach melba and stewed apple aromas with delicate whiffs of lemon meringue. The white peach character of the nose follows through onto the midpalate with flavours of lemon verbena, quince and chives. The palate is soft, smooth and medium bodied yet with vibrant, integrated acidity. The wine has a slight spicy finish with hints of nettles, flint and preserved lemons."

92/100 Christian Eedes, May 2023 (2021 Vintage)
"The currently available 2021 is a blend of 39% Viognier, 38% Chenin Blanc and 23% Grenache Blanc – and totally over-delivers on price relative to quality. Intriguing aromatics of herbs, floral perfume, citrus and peach precede a palate that is no more than medium bodied, coming across as dense but not weighty – pure fruit, bright acidity and some pithy texture to the finish make for a most elegant drop."
