The 2015 'Hemelrand Vine Garden' is an interesting blend composed of 48% Roussanne, 22% Chardonnay, 27% Chenin Blanc and 3% Verdelho. It opens to pretty aromas of orchard fruits, lime, white florals, orange zest and dusty minerals. On the palate this is fresh with lovely underlying acidity adding vibrancy with orchard fruits and citrus notes continuing to linger as this remains focused through the finish. Overall, this is a gorgeous wine which is already showing beautifully. (Best 2016-2024) - November, 2016 (JD)
