CAPE OF GOOD HOPE RIEBEEKSRIVIER CAROLINE 2022

An array of stone fruit mingles with citrus leaf, a whiff of vanilla, spice and a subtle florality on the nose. On entry, the palate is tangy and lively but also creamy and broad. Instantly apparent are the nectarine, peach and citrus flavours, with an interesting pithy grip of texture and a savouriness too. There’s a lovely harmony of acid succulence with rich, understated, almost nutty oak support. The well-knit wood just brackets and cradles the fruit rather than dominating it. Elegant and composed with good poise, there’s a tasty spice and vanilla note that makes itself felt on the lengthy, rewarding aftertaste. Superb complexity and apparent effortlessness make it all too easy to drink.

Appealingly bold aromas of tropical fruits—guava, kiwi, and fig— highlighted by a light grapefruit sheen. Taut, crisp, and tangy, the palate boasts an abundance of citrus vivacity. The ripe tropical notes from the nose are present as well, with kiwi and fig complemented by a light dusting of flint and white pepper for added complexity. Texture is impressive, with a leesy breadth and length that define its character. The balance and harmony of fruit, acid, and lees are notable, and the finish is remarkably lingering.

The bouquet offers up shy plum and black fruit with a trace of roasting coffee beans. The palate is taut, controlled and appears leashed, ready to reveal its true range of flavours: spicy plum and blackcurrant notes brushed with a touch of fynbos. There is a good platform of oak which will meld ever more agreeably with the rich fruit notes over time. The finish is long and succulent and reveals an interesting saline nuance.

Gentle notes of nectarine and limestone, with a hint of vanilla biscuit and orange peel. The subtlety continues on the palate. Initially, it is energetic and vivacious, with crisp, bright, and lively lime and orange notes, complemented by vibrant acidity that lends freshness. Then, a broader, rich yet restrained quality develops, revealing a subtle creamy nuttiness tinged with a light vanilla note. Nothing dominates, and the wine displays a harmonious balance of oak, fruit, and acidity, which lingers persistently but not assertively. Overall, it is a wine that whispers seductively rather than shouts.
