Description: Keermont Vineyards is a family-owned wine estate in the Upper Blaauwklippen Valley. Terrasse is our barrel fermented white blend which derives its name from the terraced vineyards leading up the two mountainsides. Six different white wine varieties are planted on these terraces and every year we make up a unique blend. The core component is always Chenin blanc from our dryland bush vine Bobbejaan Wingerd (Baboon Vineyard). Inviting aroma with notes of spring flowers, ripe apricots and citrus, and a hint of fennel. The palate is soft and luscious, with lovely fresh acidity and an array of flavors reminiscent of ripe apricot, peach, and quince. Complimented by richer, spicy, and savory notes.
