Tasting Notes
From a single vineyard on the Moutonshoek Farm in Swartland. This wine is named after the 'Geelkapel' snake the venomous Cape Cobra, that can morph into a brillant yellow after which this wine is named. From Adi Badenhorst's latest vintage - Muscat de Frontignan and White Muskadel, handpicked whole bunches, gently crushed by foot and naturally fermented for two weeks before being racked into large oak foudres for maturation.
More Info
The aromatic Muscat de Frontignan is a grape with a rich history in South Africa, mostly being used to make fortified or sweet wines. In contrast, the Geelkapel, Adi’s single-vineyard Muscat de Frontignan, is a dry aromatic wine fermented on the skins (with some stalks) for 10 days and aged in a big old foudre cask. It's made from a vineyard on the Moutonshoek Farm behind the town of Piketberg. The vineyard was planted in 1982 which Adi reckons makes this the oldest Muscat block in the Swartland.
