Robert Parker

(2015 vintage notes)

Cartology is an invitation to explore the heritage of the Cape through a blend of very old Chenin Blanc and Sémillon vines. This white wine reveals intense aromas of ripe pear, honey, and citrus. Supported by beautiful acidity on the palate and a floral touch, it is a real treat for the taste buds!
