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
Survivor Chenin Blanc Reserve
Rich green-gold colour with flakes of olive. The fragrance of dusty lemon and lanolin, dried herbs and freshly picked dewy lemon leaves leap from the glass. The palate is finely textured with creamy orchard fruit, underpinned by subtle vanilla oak. Lush and bright with great palate weight, rounded and harmonious with a dry, lingering preserved lemon and spice finish. Beautifully balanced and focussed – a Chenin triumph!
The Power of Love – Chenin Blanc
This is our second vintage of The Power of Love Chenin Blanc and sees a change of origin from Simonsberg to Swartland. It’s vibrant, full-bodied and fruit-forward with refreshing flavours of guava, pineapple, yellow peach and winter melon. The palate zings with flavours of citrus, white pear, quince and lingering blood orange.
