Experience artisanal winemaking with Fledge & Co Colombar SKN N BNZ (750ml). Handcrafted from old bush vine fruit, this skin-contact orange wine pushes the boundaries of Cape heritage cultivars.
Winemakers Margaux Nel and Leon Coetzee source dry-farmed heritage vines to craft small, experimental batches. Extended skin contact during spontaneous fermentation imparts Fledge & Co Colombar SKN N BNZ with an amber hue and complex texture. Dried orange peel, ginger spice, and honeysuckle aromas lead into a savoury palate of bruised orchard fruits, bitter almond, and vibrant acidity. Bottled unfined and unfiltered, it pairs brilliantly with spicy Cape Malay curry, roasted pork belly, or hard cheeses.
This small-batch project frequently draws praise from top wine critics and alternative wine showcases. It holds 4 Stars in Platter’s South African Wine Guide and consistently rates above 90 Points on boutique artisanal wine panels.
