Thelema Mountain Vineyards Muscat de Frontignan 2012 91 Points

Rare and sought after unusual offering from this top Stellenbosch winery with a mere annual production of around 500 cases, historically made for Gyles Webb mother in law, this lifted and delicately perfumed, bright Frontignan, on the drier side with just a brush of sugar, shows lively juicy character, with fine acid cut and crunchy mouth feels, unlike most Muscat made in this style it has energy, in fact quite similar in profile with the dry Muscat of the Douro Valley in Portugal, seek it out to impress your friends, worth buying!
