It displays a pale golden yellow colour with a bouquet of peach, quince and vanilla, revealing a full and creamy palate. Partially fermented in oak barrels and amphora, this wine offers a pleasant spicy complexity and a mineral finish, making it ideal to pair with fresh cheeses, paella and Japanese cuisine.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhere it comes from\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe grapes come from Stellenbosch Kloof, an area characterised by a \u003cstrong\u003ecool Mediterranean climate\u003c\/strong\u003e. The vineyards benefit from sea breezes from False Bay and morning mists, both essential for preserving the aromatic precision of the fruit. The vines, over thirty years old, ensure a concentrated and balanced raw material. The wine is named in tribute to Louis Albert Peringuey, a historical figure for the \u003cstrong\u003eCape vineyards\u003c\/strong\u003e in the nineteenth century, whose contribution was decisive in the fight against phylloxera thanks to the introduction of \u003cstrong\u003eAmerican rootstocks\u003c\/strong\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHow it is produced\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eAfter gentle pressing and cold settling, fermentation takes place partly in \u003cstrong\u003eused oak barrels\u003c\/strong\u003e and amphora, while a portion matures in stainless steel to preserve the integrity of the citrus freshness.
