W.O Breedekloof

98 in stock

This well-balanced and medium bodied wine displays the true characteristics of Breedekloof. Green-gold colour with multidimensional aromas of lime, orange blossoms, sun-kissed ripe stone fruit with tones of lemon zest. Artistically played with larger barrels and old wood to finish off with subtle hints of oak, raw almonds but still preserving the tropical refreshing, lingering finish. Veritas 2019 Gold. Gilbert & Gaillard 93.
