Goldmine is a blend of Chenin, Semillon and Viognier from around the Western Cape, aged in a combination of French oak foudre, concrete egg and clay amphora. The nose is fresh and intriguing, with inviting aromas of quince, poached pear and nectarine and gentle whiffs of bruised apple and baking spice. The stone fruit and citrus of the nose follow through onto a lively, complex palate. Vibrant yet integrated acidity balances the juicy fruit and delicate oak nuances on the mid-palate, with notes of ginger and cinnamon adding layers of complexity. The wine is medium-bodied, round and elegant, with a pithy, slightly saline mouthfeel. Zesty lime, white peach and hints of orange marmalade linger on a clean, minerally finish.
