ORIGIN
Doring Bay is the home location for the Fryer’s Cove Winery. The actual winery is perched on the jetty that juts into the cold South Atlantic Ocean. The unique winery building is an old Crayfish factory, and our winery, as far as we know is the only winery built on the sea in the world!
CRAFT
The season started of with some weather fluctuations which influenced bud break and flowering and causing less and uneven loose bunches with small berries. Despite the challenges and recovering from the severe drought the wines shows good acidity levels and very nice flavour profiles. Phenolic ripeness occurred at lower sugar levels resulting in lower alcohol wines.
IDEAL DRINKING
We’re not saying that the sun should be baking your skin, like some ancient Greek goddess, or that you should dig your feet into the cool sands of the pristine west-coast beaches while enjoying the laughter of your friends around you, or that any of the above would create the ideal drinking conditions... but it would certainly help set the mood! Enjoy within 5 years after bottling.
SUGGESTED FOOD PAIRINGS
Cheese (especially goats cheese), Green vegetables (asparagus, zucchini, fresh peas, artichokes), Oysters, Delicate fish like Sole, Mild vinaigrettes.
