TASTING NOTES
Rocking Horse is our cornerstone wine and takes its name from a wooden rocking horse that we made for our daughters out of old oak barrel staves. This is our signature wine and it is where all our work comes together to showcase our vision for a Cape White blend.
The wine is composed from a number of carefully selected vineyard sites in the Western Cape. The 2023 vintage is one of layers and tension, with aromas of flint, peach and jasmine. The palate follows with gentle tropical notes, vanilla and yuzu on a tightly coiled finish.
