CAPE OF GOOD HOPE RIEBEEKSRIVIER CAROLINE 2022

An array of stone fruit mingles with citrus leaf, a whiff of vanilla, spice and a subtle florality on the nose. On entry, the palate is tangy and lively but also creamy and broad. Instantly apparent are the nectarine, peach and citrus flavours, with an interesting pithy grip of texture and a savouriness too. There’s a lovely harmony of acid succulence with rich, understated, almost nutty oak support. The well-knit wood just brackets and cradles the fruit rather than dominating it. Elegant and composed with good poise, there’s a tasty spice and vanilla note that makes itself felt on the lengthy, rewarding aftertaste. Superb complexity and apparent effortlessness make it all too easy to drink.

Lively stream of fine bubbles bring sherbert and lemon cream biscuit aromas to the nose. Vibrant, fresh and crisp in the mouth with those bright, citrus flavours promised by the nose immediately apparent. Tangy lime and grapefruit with a marmalade twist, and an understated apple and toast nuance which adds complexity and dimension. Beautifully resolved, elegant and composed with a resolved dry finale.

The bouquet offers up shy plum and black fruit with a trace of roasting coffee beans. The palate is taut, controlled and appears leashed, ready to reveal its true range of flavours: spicy plum and blackcurrant notes brushed with a touch of fynbos. There is a good platform of oak which will meld ever more agreeably with the rich fruit notes over time. The finish is long and succulent and reveals an interesting saline nuance.

Gentle spice nuance to ripe black cherry and blackcurrant aromas. Fresh, juicy and soft entry to the palate with the lovely ripe black fruits hinted at on the nose being apparent on the tongue. Again the spice highlights add interest, as does the light, dry tannin element.

Plump, black hedgerow fruit with both a subtle tomato plant and spice note, as well as a gentle violet perfume. Ample black and blue fruit flavours but they are countered by a squeeze of dry tannin, making for a well defined mouthful. The palate is structured and generous with the mouthfeel providing an impression of refinement and elegance, as well as generosity and succulence. Oaking is subtle and well integrated.
