Rickety Bridge 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.

The fruit profile remains faithful to the varietal – stone fruits, succulent peach, apricot, and zesty lime interplay seamlessly with hints of melon, green apple, and elegant white pear. The integrated, slightly robust structure lingers harmoniously, underscoring the symphony of flavours. This Chenin Blanc elegantly marries its character with newfound richness, making it a compelling choice for enthusiasts seeking a nuanced and captivating experience.

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!
