Introduction:
The 2024 Olifantsberg "Beneath Our Feet" White Blend from South Africa’s Breedekloof Valley is a compelling Rhône-style white that exemplifies the winery's dedication to terroir-driven, expressive wines. Crafted by winemaker Elizma Visser, this blend harmoniously combines varietals to showcase the unique character of the region.

Terrior:
Situated on the slopes of the Olifantsberg Mountain, the vineyards benefit from a combination of shale, quartz, and sandstone soils. The elevation and rocky terrain contribute to the wine's minerality and freshness, while the region's continental climate, with its warm days and cool nights, ensures optimal ripening and flavor development.

Appearance:
Pale straw with a golden hue, indicating both youth and complexity.

Nose:
Aromatic layers of white peach, pear, and citrus blossom are complemented by subtle notes of dried herbs and a hint of flint.

Palate:
Medium-bodied with a textured mouthfeel, the palate reveals flavors of stone fruits, lemon zest, and a touch of almond. The wine's balanced acidity and mineral undertones provide depth and structure.

Finish:
Long and refreshing, with lingering notes of citrus, white flowers, and a saline minerality that invites another sip.

Overall Impression:
The 2024 "Beneath Our Feet" White Blend is a testament to Olifantsberg's commitment to producing wines that reflect their origin. Its complexity, balance, and elegance make it a versatile companion to a variety of dishes, from seafood to creamy pastas.
