CARTOLOGY MEANS THE STUDY OF MAPS OR CHARTS. IT COULD NOT BE A MORE PERFECT NAME FOR THIS WINE. NOT ONLY BECAUSE OF OUR ENDEAVOURS TO SEARCH FOR AND FIND THESE SPECIAL OLD VINEYARDS, BUT ALSO BECAUSE THE WINE ITSELF CAN BE SEEN AS A VINOUS MAP OR TAPESTRY OF THE CAPE.
TASTING NOTES:
The nose shows citrus oil and pear, with some subtle floral/honey tones. The palate is very well proportioned, with firm mid-palate structure, medium rich mouth feel, and long carry. Flavour persists and even intensifies throughout its length. The wine finishes dry and saline, refreshing the palate. This vintage has a sappy, thirst-quenching quality about it.
