Vrede & Lust White Mischief 2019

VREDE EN LUST – White mischief 2019 The White Mischief is a 6 – cultivar white blend made from selected grapes from Vrede en Lust’s Elgin farm, Casey’s Ridge. It showcases the cultivars’ cooler climate aromas with focus on how they complement each other.
The name ‘White Mischief’ derives from the winemakers playing around with the white wines from Elgin and creating this very unique white blend. The components of this blend may vary slightly from vintage to vintage but the same mischievous style will however be maintained.

Winemakers Notes The grapes were all hand-harvested at optimal ripeness and crushed separately in February and March. The juice was pressed, settled and fermented in stainless steel tanks using different yeast strains. The wine was aged on the lees and all the components was blended before bottling.

Tasting Notes An abundance of tropical fruit and floral notes on the nose followed by hints of white pear and fruit salad on the palate. Soft, beautifully balanced mouth-feel.

Technical Notes Cultivars: Chenin Blanc; Pinot Grigio; Sauvignon Blanc; Semillon; Riesling and Viognier
