Swartland Winery Winemakers Collection Granite Rock White 2017
Swartland Winery's Winemaker's Collection is an expression of Swartland's finest terroir. The wines are crafted using carefully sourced grapes from small bush vines grown on site specific vineyards that are planted in granite rich soils expertly suited to the cultivation of Rhône varietals. The Swartland Winemakers Collection Granite Rock White is an intriguing blend of Chenin Blanc (40%), Chardonnay (20%), Viognier (20%) and Roussanne (20%) grapes. Upfront tropical fruit and citrus aromas complement each other, with a hint of butterscotch. This is a well balanced white wine with great complexity, the rich and ripe fruit flavours, linger pleasantly on the finish.
