"Super fragrant with peach blossoms, acacia spice, pears and tangy lime. The name comes from the farm's terraced vineyards leading up the mountains. The composition is different every year, depending on what the six varieties planted there deliver. A core of stone fruit and distinct orange-citrus is cradled in reams of pears and apples, sewn right through with a mineral, dry acidity. Pure class and a thoroughly modern barrel-fermented Cape white blend."

"A creamy, elegant white blend that has aromas of lemon curd, white peaches, apricots, honeysuckle and crushed stones. It's medium- to full-bodied, layered and waxy, with excellent freshness. 46% chenin blanc, 20% chardonnay, 14% sauvignon blanc, 10% roussanne, 8% viognier and 2% marsanne. Drink now."

"The 2023 Terrasse spent one hour on the skins and was basked pressed with no bâtonnage. It then matured for 11 months in used 500-liter oak. It has a light apple blossom nose that's quite austere compared to the previous vintage, with touches of yellow fruit emerging with time. The palate is medium-bodied with a twist of bitter lemon on the entry. Linear and strict, the Chenin bossing the finish. Very fine, but quite minimalist."
