Description
Restless River is synonymous with authentic, elegant wine. Craig and Anne Wessels own and run this small family estate in the cool Hemel-en-Aarde Valley.
Craig is committed to absolute site expression and a minimalist approach. Each vineyard on their farm is registered as a Single Vineyard and the wines are named after the vineyards.
Being terroir driven, the focus is on 100% single varietal wine: Pinot Noir, Chardonnay and Cabernet Sauvignon. They also occasionally release a wine called Wanderlust which changes every year and lays outside the core tenets of Restless River.
Appellation: Upper Hemel-en-Aarde Valley
Christian Eedes, Winemag.co.za:The nose is somewhat shy, some subtle reduction preceding pear, peach and citrus. The palate is marked by lightness and linearity good fruit expression, racy acidity and a pithy finish.92pt.
Tim Atkin MW:Its a very smart white from Craig Wessels, overcoming the challenges of a tricky vintage. Barrel fermented in 10% new oak with 50% malolactic, its a refined, tangy, elegant red with citrus, wet stone and rice pudding notes and a lingering finish.94pt
Alc: 13%
