2018 Mappinga Fume Blanc

A mixture of barriques and larger format oak was used. The wine had extended time on lees, maturating for eight months.
Lifted aromatics and luxuriant mouth-filling flavours of intense ripe pear, mandarin and lemon pith with a hint of sweet honeysuckle. This complex wine spent time on lees in barrels, creating a creamy mid-palate, balanced by a lively clean citrus line. Drinking beautifully now but will continue to evolve for the next five years.
