Note di degustazione
Coming from the most northerly aspect of the range, the 2022 Old Vine Series Skurfberg opens with a waxy nose and notions of dusty yellow apple and Meyer lemon with white melon. Medium-bodied and with 13% alcohol, the palate reveals a fine mineral tension with a delightful kiss of sea spray before displaying a classic, food-friendly phenolic bitterness. The wine glides into a long, lingering and subtly spiced finish. Only 4,200 bottles were produced.

Chenin Blanc from Citrusdal Mountain. 23 hl/ha. Ageing 12 months in big, old oak casks . Subtle, slightly elusive pear-drop and grapefruit-rind aromas, more stone fruit than citrus though with an undertow of lime blossom, flint and quince. Aromatically expressive but a little evasive on the palate. Given the ageability of Chenin from the site, worth waiting for the mid palate to evolve over time. (MF)
