Paying The School Fees | Mother Rock Wines

From Johan's latest project: the first vintage of his brand new farm planted with vines on virgin land. The focus here being terroir blends as opposed to single varietal wines.  This creamy white is full of pithy lemon rind flavour, rounded off beautifully after some extended maturation in old oak.
