Crafted in the cool-climate Elgin Valley, Catherine Marshall’s Riesling captures the spirit of classic Mosel Riesling with a distinctly South African edge. The wine bursts with aromas of fresh lime, crisp green apple, beeswax, and a touch of wild honey. On the palate, it strikes a beautiful balance between lively fruit sweetness and taut, mouth-watering acidity, creating tension and vibrancy that carry through to a long citrus-driven finish. Elegant, refreshing, and finely tuned, this is a standout expression of Cape Riesling that’s both food-friendly and cellar-worthy
Clusters are handpicked at 20.1 to 20.4 0 Balling into lug baskets and meticulously hand sorted on sorting belts to remove rotten berries, unripe berries and other matter. After pressing, the must was settled for two days and decanted off the solids where it was inoculated with a commercial yeast strain suited to this variety. The wine fermented cold (13 0Celsius) for 58 days until it reached the residual sugar required for sweetness to balance the acidity. The final wine was fined and lightly filtered to bottle.
