Tasting Notes:
A beautiful pale salmon hue characterises this wine. It offers delicate and
refreshing aromas of cotton candy, rose petals, and grapefruit. On the palate,
the initial taste reveals a distinct chalky mineral flavour, enhanced by notes of
white chocolate and a subtle hint of Turkish delight. Despite its vibrancy,
XCLUSIV maintains a wonderfully balanced palate weight, resulting in a rich,
long and intricate finish.

Winemaker’s Notes:
The grapes were meticulously hand-harvested in small crates during the cool
early mornings below the Limietberg. Whole bunches were pressed to achieve
the exclusive salmon colour, and the juice was cold settled in stainless steel for
two days. It was then racked into stainless steel vats and cold fermented to
preserve the fruit aromas and maintain fresh acidity. Post-fermentation, the
wine matured on the lees for three months, developing richness and weight,
resulting in a well-balanced and complex wine.
