The bottle that is Koen Roose's playground - the Sauvignon blend varies per vintage. For the 2020 vintage this is Sauvignon Blanc and Chardonnay. Peach, a definite herbal quality plus a slight smoky note. The palate is flavourful with tangy acidity and a savoury finish – a rather curious wine overall. But very, very nice - what else? ;-)
Alc 13.5% - T/A 7.01 – R/S 6.45 – pH 3.02
The story behind the name: Not part of the Anglo-Boer War, but still a remarkable woman in South-African history. She lived in what is now the Free State and was part of the BaSia people. Still, despite being BaSia and a woman, she managed to rule over the BaTlokwa people with great success. She became a feared military strategist and war general.
