Tasting profile (AI-generated)
Structure: medium-bodied, high acidity, dry
This is a savoury, textured white blend built on old-vine Swartland fruit, combining orchard and citrus fruit with a saline, herbal undertone from the field-blend of varieties. Expect bright acidity, a dry finish, and a slightly waxy, oxidative-leaning texture rather than pure fruit. It is a versatile, food-friendly white that rewards a bit of air and mild chilling rather than heavy cooling.
Where it comes from
Swartland, South Africa
Swartland — a warm, dry-farmed region north of Cape Town in South Africa's Western Cape, and one of the country's most exciting sources of characterful wine.
Chenin Blanc
Chenin Blanc is a versatile white grape from France's Loire Valley, capable of everything from bone-dry to lusciously sweet and sparkling, all underpinned by vibrant acidity.
Grenache Blanc
Grenache Blanc is a white grape, the pale-berried cousin of red Grenache, with roots in northern Spain, where it goes by Garnacha Blanca.
Verdelho
Verdelho is a white grape of Portuguese origin, historically important on the island of Madeira, where it lends its name to one of the classic styles of fortified Madeira wine.
Viognier
Viognier is a white grape from the northern Rhône Valley in France, long the signature of the tiny appellation Condrieu and a variety that came close to disappearing before a revival spread it far beyond its Rhône home.
