Tasting Notes
Fabulous fruit and concentration on the nose and heavenly perfume- peonies and pink peppercorns, with a little lavender and soft beaten leather alongside perfectly ripe cherry fruit, and raspberry coulis. These gorgeous flavours carry through to the palate, with a little darker fruit too, new season hay, polished coffee bean and very long, slightly savoury finish with nicely integrated tannins and refreshing acids. From winemaker Adi: 'this vintage is marked by some restraint but with fabulous fruit too. I expect it to mature very slowly and will be drinking at its best in 2027."
More Info
We firmly believe that Adi Badenhorst is the most exciting winemaker in South Africa. He is also the most frustrating. His laid back, self-deprecating, playful manner keeps you guessing and makes you wonder whether he has any idea what he is actually doing, whether he just chucks some grapes into a vat and hopes for the best, but we know full well that there is a huge amount of expertise that goes on behind closed doors, when no one is around to witness his skill and diligence ...and spoil his reputation!
