Title: Spioenkop 'Queen Manthatisi' 2018, Elgin A beautiful blend of 70% barrel fermented Sauvignon Blanc and 30% Riesling and Chenin Blanc grapes from the Elgin Valley. This wine is named after the legendary Queen Manthatisi of the Batlokwa tribe, a formidable military leader in the 1820s. Precise and fresh, with notes of ripe peach, citrus and grapefruit, accented by almond, wet stone and a hint of anise. Harmoniously balanced, the tropical fruit is complemented by an earthy savouriness, leading to a crisp, fresh finish. A rich and sumptuous white wine. Awarded First Growth status by Tim Atkin MW in 2020 and 2021.
