Wildflower takes its name from the spectacular seasonal flowers for which this stretch of the Western Cape is known, while the wine itself celebrates Hanepoot – South Africa’s traditional name for the richly aromatic Muscat d’Alexandrie grape. After a short period of cool skin contact, the juice is fortified with wine spirit, preserving its natural sweetness and exuberant floral fruit while retaining enough freshness to keep the finished wine beautifully balanced.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePerfect With...
