The Fledge & Co Wit Prt Cape White Port N/V revives the lost art of patience through a meticulously maintained fractional solera system. The Fledge & Co Wit Prt Cape White Port N/V blends fortified wines spanning back to 2011, including a rare Viognier component from a lost 2016 vineyard.
- Aroma: Opens with complex notes of fine rancio, toasted almonds, warm honey, oak resin, and baking spice.
- Palate: Shows a lithe, fresh texture with wood-spice lift and a balanced fortified bite.
- Finish: Crisp and lingering, featuring a dry, complex nuttiness.
The blender selects mature components from the solera before bottling a small allocation. The winery returns the remaining volume to barrel, topping it up with fresh fortified wines. Oak, time, and natural seasonal shifts transform the liquid, which the team bottles in recycled glass with minimal intervention. Serve lightly chilled as an aperitif or mix with tonic water, a twist of lemon, and a sprig of rosemary for a “WitKat” cocktail. Pairs exceptionally well with Iberian tapas, grilled squid heads, fresh sardines off the braai, hard cheeses, and charcuterie.
