Dominated by Chenin Blanc and Grenache Blanc, with lesser contributions from Roussanne, Viognier, Muscat and Colombard, this is an assemblage that underlines Adi Badenhorst's skills as a blender. Aniseed and wild flower aromas are a scented introduction to a palate of yellow apple, white peach and citrus and a crunchy finish. 2024-28
Lots of cantaloupe melon, baked hay, star fruit and apple bon bons. There’s a spice element too, with white pepper, wild fennel and ground ginger, dried apple and apricot adding depth to the taut, incisive palate. The structure is superb and it really lingers, with a hint of tannin, something of a hallmark in Adi’s wines produced from old vines and granite soils. Drink 2023-2030.
Predominantly from Chenin Blanc and Grenache Blanc but typically includes many other varieties picked, pressed and fermented together. Captivating aromatics of white and yellow fruit, potpourri, herbs, earth and spice while the palate has great fruit definition, punchy acidity. Not without power, this is a wine of breadth, depth and length. Plenty of detail.
