Paulinas Reserve Chenin Blanc

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.

Subtle tropical fruit dominated by ripe yellow peaches, quince, guava and white pear on the nose. Elegant and well-balanced structure with loads of tropical fruit on the pallet and a fresh and crisp acidity followed by a lingering aftertaste.

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.

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.
