Elgin Valley, South Africa — 100% Riesling
Bright lime, crisp apple, beeswax and wild honey rise immediately from the glass. Fresh acidity creates tension through the core, balancing gentle sweetness and finishing with vibrant citrus energy. Cold fermentation preserves purity and aromatic lift, resulting in a Cape-grown expression inspired by Mosel style. Pair with Thai, Japanese or Chinese cuisine, roasted duck or pork, seafood, tandoori dishes, or creamy cheeses like feta and mozzarella. Cool Elgin days and cold nights deliver precision and longevity, with slate and shale soils enhancing aromatic clarity.
