Rook en Spieels, Waas Skin Macerated Semillion

The WAAS Skin Contact Semillon from Paarl is produced by Rook en Spieels, a producer focused on organic and sustainable farming practices in South Africa's Western Cape region. The vineyard sits in the Paarl area, where the dramatic backdrop of Paarl Mountain and diverse terroir create ideal conditions for alternative winemaking styles. This orange wine showcases the producer's commitment to natural methods and distinctive expressions.

The wine shows aromas of apricot, peach, and citrus peel, with leafy herbaceous notes adding complexity. On the palate, stone fruit flavors dominate alongside candied orange peel, while a bell pepper character provides interesting vegetal notes. Light tannins from the skin contact give gentle texture without heaviness.
