“Called The Empire Strikes Back because it’s Stellenbosch’s response to the Swartland – at least in Pieter Walser’s eyes – this is a five-way blend of predominantly Verdelho and Chenin Blanc with lesser amounts of Marsanne, Roussanne and a splash of Viognier. Pithy, stony and layered, it has green apple, citrus and pear fruit and a hint of apricot skin.”
