Jurgen and a Swiss intern were on their way to fetch the grapes for this wine, his sole purpose for joining in on the drive was to keep Jurgen company on this drive. Obviously he fell asleep, thus Sleeping co-pilot was born. Possibly the only skin contact Viognier in the country, this wine is everything it promises.
From clay soils in Riebeek – whole-bunch for 2 weeks. Exotic fruits and spices, with dried wild herbs – opens up in the glass, truly unique.
Christian Eedes: “Peach, apricot, orange, honeysuckle, fynbos and a faint petrol-like note. The palate shows dense fruit, tart acidity and a grippy, bone-dry finish. Highly unconventional but impossible to ignore… 91/100.”
