B Vintners | Haarlem to Hope | 2022
A dry white wine, Haarlem To Hope is a blend of Chenin Blanc (81%) and Semillon (19%). These heritage varieties were brought to the Cape Winelands by early Dutch settlers (from Haarlem) and are part of the cornerstones of grape growing in the Cape of Good Hope for more than three centuries.
Nose & Palate
Bright fruit on the nose with nectarine, pear and melon. Followed by touches of spice, lemongrass and ginger, with hints of floral and scrub. Time in older oak, with close lees contact, has helped to give the wine breadth and depth on the palate and keeps the focus with a saline and savoury linger.
Pairing
Enjoy this with with a peri-peri chicken or whole grilled fish.
