Solms Wijn De Caab Amalie 2006

South Africa, Franschhoek
55% Viognier / 45% Grenache Blanc

This is a blend of Viognier and Grenache blanc.  The grapes are desiccated on the vine
according to the ancient Greek practice to concentrate colour and flavours. 

It is a barrel-matured dry white blend, with intense fruit, layers of complexity and a well-integrated tannic structure and lingering finish.  Amalie is a wine to set new standards in white blending.
