Robert Parker

(2015 Vintage Notes)

Cartology invites you 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. With lovely acidity on the palate and a floral touch, it’s a real treat for the taste buds!
