Tasting Notes

In 2013 David Finlayson and his daughter Dani, after whom the wine is named, made their first joint venture natural sweet wine on Edgebaston using selected portions of the Semillon and Sauvignon Blanc vineyards on the property.

Blend Information

Sauvignon Blanc 40%,Semillon 40% and Muscat Blanc 10%

In The Vineyard

Grapes were left to dry or develop noble rot every year on the vines that looked best suited to the required ripening.

About The Harvest

Hand harvested, crushed and left to soak on skins for 24 hours. Pressed in a basket press. Fermented in old French oak and blended over 5 years in a solera styled system before racking, fining and filtration.

Additional Information

This wine signifies something truly special to me as a winemaker and is part of my journey in life and wine in South Africa, hence the name,
Camino Africana, “The African Way”
