Mellish Family Vineyards Bakenkop Blanc Fumé 2020

The wine has a very aromatic nose of stone fruit, blackcurrant and quince which follows onto the palate. There is a refreshing yet soft acidity that gives good structure in the mouth. The creaminess and roundness of the texture is evident from the oak and malolactic fermentation. There is a smoky, mineral character with some herbal complexity and dried nettle, to compliment the stone fruits of peach and nectarine. The wine has a long dry, pleasing saline finish.
