Tasting Selections:
If your only exposure to Frascati has been the tepid, metallic versions off of the grocery shelves, you are in for a nice surprise.
Monte Porzio Frascati is straw in color and its aromas of fresh fruit give a burst of fresh fruit on the palette with a lingering almond finish that is clean and harmonious.
The wine is a blend of two grape varietals, Malvasia and Trebbiano, and is bottled in the traditional Estrucan bottle for over 750 years.
It goes with dishes of pasta and risotto, fresh cheeses or seasoned type precorino cheese. Also with fish white meats and fish.

Pale yellow color.
Dominant peach aromas with a hint of pineapple juice on the nose.
The palate has intense peach and pineapple characters.
The mid palate is soft and creamy.
Vinification Notes:
Crushed, de-stemmed and then pressed using a membrane press.
The ferment was kept slow and cool to retain all the natural flavors and aromatic qualities.
The juice was fermented in stainless steel tanks at a cool temperature to retain all the natural flavors and aromatic qualities.
The wine was blended, clarified, filtered and then bottled soon afterwards so the wine was a true expression of the grape/terroir from which it was made.

Origin
Western Cape.
About the area
South Africa's vineyards are mostly situated in the Western Cape near the coast. This is the southernmost region of the African continent, and
has a Mediterranean type climate and diverse soils perfectly suited to quality grape production.
Winemaking
Specially selected grapes were harvested, destemmed and inoculated with yeast. The wine was allowed to ferment until the desired sugar level
was reached and then fortified with natural wine spirits to stop the fermentation. The resulting wine was then matured in French oak barrels.
Maturation
8 - 10 years in a combination of 300 litre and 500 litre French oak barrels.
Varietals
Tinta Barocca + Cinsaut + Souzão.
Wine description
Extended wood maturation resulted in a beautiful amber colour with orange zest, dried fruit, caramel and nuttiness on the nose. This full
flavoured wine explodes with fruit, marzipan and toffee on the palate, with a well-balanced sweetness.
Serving suggestion
Serve chilled before a meal or with cheese and chocolates after a meal.
