TASTING NOTES
This generously complex wine showcases wonderful tropical fruit aromas and rewards with delightful flavours of lychee, grapefruit and lime. Beautifully balanced with a mineral line throughout and a lingering velvety finish. Drinking beautifully now but will reward with careful cellaring.
"The Mappinga wines are Sidewoods flagship wines and only bear this label when the wine is good enough to make this echelon"

Vineyard | They can be described as a mixture of sandy loams, loams and clay loams over clay subsoils that vary in structure. It is not unusual to find these soils combined with shale and ironstone. The differences in topography and soil type affects wine growth and this contributes greatly to wine styles.
IT'S STILL TIGHT!
While it's still tight and relatively lean, flavours of spicy stone fruit, almond meal and oak spice come through with some grip to the phenolics"
