"A waxy and creamy white with layers upon layers of beeswax, honeycomb, chamomile, grapefruit rind and apricot stones. Medium-bodied with lovely texture and tasty salty and honey undertones. Drink or hold."

Palomino as we all well know was used mainly to produce sherry and sherry-styled wines in South Africa. Very few of these vineyards remain and this Brakkuil vineyard is one of them. A rare bottling of this varietal shows the vineyard and varietal very well. The wine is pure, delicate, vinous, and savoury/salty to the taste.
