Terrasse is Keermont`s barrel fermented white blend which derives its name from the terraced vineyards leading up the mountains on the estate. The 2020 release is a marvellous blend of 55% Chenin Blanc, 18% Chardonnay, 16% Sauvignon Blanc, 10% Viognier and 1% Roussanne. Revealing an explosive bouquet of lime, apple, pineapple, and peach with notes of vanilla, and butterscotch. The palate is rich, but fresh, with ripe apricot, peach, and pear flavours complimented by cut grass and vanilla oak.
Producer Information
Keermont Vineyards is a family-owned farm located in a back valley outside of Stellenbosch, ZA. The name comes from Keerweder, which is the name of the former farm. A keerweder is a dead end in a valley – it literally translates to ‘blocked again’, as the early settlers were blocked by the terrain when they tried to pass through the valley. The winery and vineyards are located in the shadow of Guardian Peak (official name is Suurberg). The mountain fruit here is similar to the grapes grown at the Howell Mountain AVA in Napa Valley.
