Bursting with stone fruit aromas, this is a wonderfully complex wine with a slight waxiness combined with vanilla and fresh minerality on the palate.

Tasting Notes
Bursting with stone fruit aromas, this is a wonderfully complex wine with a slight waxiness combined with vanilla and fresh minerality on the palate.
Winemaking
The grapes were hand-harvested riper than usual, whole-bunch pressed and fermented slowly with natural yeast. The wine spent 8 months in a 500 litre barrel, with daily stirring of the lees.
Total production 2,900 bottles.
Wine Information
This wine is named for Solo of the Serengeti, the Painted Wolf (African wild dog) pup who inspired Hugo van Lawick and Jane Goodall’s groundbreaking 1978 film and book about the species. The name Solo was also given to a lone wild dog at Mombo in the Okavango about whom a fascinating documentary was made.
Roussanne, native to the warmer regions of France’s Rhône valley, is a relative newcomer and still very rare in South Africa. There are fewer than 10 South African producers and we are proud to be ranked among the top.
The vineyard
Roussanne is grown by Willy Mostert on the south-eastern side of the Paardeberg. The vines are planted on decomposed granite soils.
Cultivar
Roussanne 100%
Ageing Potential
We always find that our Roussannes age particularly well, and this wine will become even more interesting and complex over the next ten years.
