a Solera system of old barrels where new wine is added every year since 2007

balance of acidity, just as it should. The total acid is 7.6 g/l and Residual
Sugar is 272.8 g/l It. Sold in 375 ml bottles it is a perfect match for desserts
like this, rich pates or with a good cheese board. Platter Score: 4½ stars,
Neil Martin: 91/100. In a 375ml bottle from the farm at R170
