Alheit Gone South
The nose shows beautiful pear and fresh citrus, particularly grapefruit, perhaps kumquat. There are musky herbal notes present here too, difficult to define, something like rooibos. As always, the wine has a striking sense of purity. That classic Skurfberg saline vigour underpins the whole palate. This vintage is medium-bodied yet rich in flavour, with good length and balance.
David & Nadia Chenin Blanc
Grapes from various old-vine sites. Some reduction before peach, citrus and hay. Good depth of fruit and well-integrated acidity – as with many examples of Swartland Chenin from this vintage, this wine is textured and substantial even at low alcohol, 12.5% in this instance. Not overtly expressive but still layered
Kleinood Tamboerskloof Chenin Blanc (buurman)
A collection of rare Tamboerskloof wines
inspired by the exceptional grapes that cross our path.
“The charm of these wines lies in the quality of the grapes,
the care of the hands that create them,
and the soul of the places that they come from.”
Each wine comes in a recycled paper bag,
tied at the top with a thinly cut tyre tube.
This is a pale straw-coloured wine has a lively nose,
starting with wild flower and white pear.
