Tasting notes
Characterful fresh white wine. Sparkling green-yellow colour with tight tears. Exotic fresh and over-ripe at the same time in the nose, with pineapple, flint stone and citrus tones. Characterful yet refreshing flavour with plenty of minerality in the texture. Almost sweet mouth aroma in the remarkably long finish. Stunning aperitif and very funky. All-rounder for receptions and cocktail parties. Delicious with white moulded cheeses. Serving temperature: 8°C.
Wine Story
What began as a festive three barrel foot stomp event attended by a handful of friends on a south peninsula beach in 1996, produced a very palatable Syrah, and saw the founding in 1997 of the first true micro-winery in the Western Cape with Pinot Noir the main focus. The aptly named Barefoot Winery trading as Catherine Marshall Wines has long outgrown its humble origins to become a legendary institution and exporting to a number of markets world- wide. Our philosophy is to produce wines that are distinctive, serious in intent but to have a lot of fun doing it.
