Rich with balancing minerals 7 fresh acidity
More Info
Tasting Notes: Concentrated yet fresh, with mouth-filling white pear, quince and apricot, followed by aromatic almond blossom and a balanced, mineral lingering finish. Its depth of flavour is one of the Stone Trail’s stand-out features, along with a bright, focused acidity and earthy minerality which should see it age well.
The Old Road Wine Co. tells the story of special vines grown in the rugged corners of the Franschhoek wine country. The worn smooth stones of a meandering trail tell the story of dedicated farm hands that tend to this vineyard, planted in 1984, isolated amongst the fynbos and forest on the slopes of the Franschhoek valley. This Certified Heritage Old Vine is unirrigated and at an altitude of 380m above sea level. The vineyard
started as a trellised vineyard, but over the years it became an improvised bush vine. At this high altitude, the vineyard is exposed to cool afternoon breezes every day. Its grapes give bright acidity to this perfectly balanced wine.
