R315.00
From Abbotsdale (koffieklip) – skin contact for 2 weeks.
Electric and tense, with fine powdery tannin and exotic citrus fruits.
Christian Eedes, Winemag.co.za : “Gorgeous aromatics of potpourri, apple and citrus while the palate has great fruit density, snappy acidity and a super-dry finish. Clearly defined, both aromatically and flavour-wise. Goosebumps inducing. All that’s good about orange wine. 96/100.”

“Our philosophy remains minimal intervention during the winemaking process and the wines are a celebration of the hard work done in the vineyard. For us it is intuitive winegrowing, an evolution through experimentation on small pockets of land selected in the Swartland Appellation.”
― Jurgen Gouws
Intellego Wines owner and winemaker, Jurgen Gouws, is originally from the Eastern Cape but now calls the Swartland home. He has worked with some of that area’s most celebrated names (Eben Sadie, Tom Lubbe, Craig Hawkins). Jurgen’s cartoonishly idiosyncratic labels are one of his hallmarks.
Jurgen favours a natural approach – think organic farming and minimal intervention (no yeast, acid, enzymes or fining; limited sulphur and filtration) in the cellar. He currently makes the wines at Annex Kloof on the Paardeberg. Vineyard: Abbotsdale
