M’hudi’s take on this classic French grape is intentionally rich, vast. The grapes are dry farmed which, importantly, preserves the aromatics in the Stellenbosch sun. The wine is fermented and then matured – for 10 months – in 500 litre French oak barrels to produce a broadly textured white. There are flavours of stewed apple, lemon pith, quince, pineapple and dried apricot, while the natural high acidity of the grape aptly compliments the rich, medium body to leave a long refreshing finish.
