The structure is energetic and precise, with a dry, energetic length and a salty-mineral echo in the finish. Serve Goldmine preferably between 10 and 12°C. At the table, it pairs perfectly with roasted chicken with lemon and tarragon, grilled lobster or langoustines, and rich vegetable dishes with fennel, pumpkin, or almond. It is also an ideal \"quiet moment wine\" to savor slowly on a long summer evening, when you want to dream of the Swartland with your glass alone.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2 data-start=\"3815\" data-end=\"3831\"\u003e Awards \u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cul data-start=\"3833\" data-end=\"3876\"\u003e\n\n\u003cli data-start=\"3833\" data-end=\"3876\"\u003e\n\n\u003cp data-start=\"3835\" data-end=\"3876\"\u003e 2024 – 5 stars (Platter's Wine Guide)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"DGS","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44336302948431,"sku":"30068","price":23.6,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0594\/9358\/0879\/files\/GoldmineBoekenhoutskloof2024.webp?v=1768210733"}],"url":"https:\/\/perfectewijn.be\/en\/collections\/wijnhuis-boekenhoutskloof.oembed","provider":"Perfecte Wijn","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
