About this wine
Description & facts
Jacobus A.S.Viljoen (Kobie), proprietor of Villion Family Wines, is a descendant of the first French Huguenot, Francois Villion, who made South Africa his permanent residence in 1671. From then on the Villion family (changed to Viljoen later on in the Afrikaans language) made their living from farming the fertile soils of the Cape of Good Hope, focusing on vineyards. Kobie Viljoen, with his twenty years of experience and combining with detailed and focused winemaking, takes hand selected fruit through the processes to capture the essential components of color, flavor and texture within his wines. Environmental friendly and traditional methods which include spontaneous fermentation and open top fermentations, add to the authenticity of the wines.

- Tasting note
- Captivating entrance of an array of fruit flavors - ripe peach slices and sun-drenched, sweet apricots. Quirky layers of quince and ripe orange peel. Delectable saltiness of oyster shells and wet stones reveal the wine's oaky fermentation character. Confident, broad, creamy mouthfeel. The finish is one of perfect balance, a pristine, oyster shell and crushed stone, flinty texture ending in a chalky sharpness.
