| The Wolftrap White Blend |
|
|
| Viognier 67 %, Chenin Blanc 19%, Grenache Blanc 14% |
|
| |
A friendly style displaying characteristics of the components in harmony. The Viognier grapes are sourced from a dry- land vineyard in Malmesbury, the Chenin Blanc from Stellenbosch and the Grenache Blanc from the Piekenierskloof near Citrusdal. The Chenin Blanc and Grenache Blanc were barrel matured in French oak, after which the Viognier was blended and the wine was cold stabilized, filtered and bottled.
Fruit blossom, spices and almond flavours, followed with a well textured palate with nice weight and a rounded finish. The wine has a lingering aftertaste with subtle wood flavours. |

| The Wolftrap Red Blend |
|
|
| Syrah 65 %, Mourvèdre 32 %, Viognier 3 % |
|
| |
Both the Syrah and Mourvèdre component come from a Malmesbury vineyard with the Viognier sourced on Boekenhoutskloof. The reds were fermented using selected Rhone strain yeasts. French oak matured with Viognier blended prior to bottling. Egg white fined.
Abundance of black fruit flavours with hints of violet. Unpretentious easy drinking with smooth tannins and sweet berries on the palate. |
