Solms-Delta Hegewisch Koloni 2006

South Africa, Franschhoek
59% Rhine Riesling / 29% Muscadel / 12% Muscat D’Alexandrie

Koloni is the Xhosa name for ‘The Cape’. The grapes have been desiccated on the vine, pressed as whole bunches, fermented after settling and matured for six months in new French oak.

This is a floral, Muscat style wine with good structure, and a lingering unexpected dry finish.  A truly unique ‘meditation wine’.
