David & Nadia Rondevlei 2022
Descrizione
Le viti di Chenin blanc coltivate in un'oasi sabbiosa sulle rive dell'Atlantico danno vita a David & Nadia Rondevlei, un bianco d e che affascina per la sua dualità: una consistenza cremosa e oleosa, frutto dell'affinamento in rovere francese, e un'acidità elettrica e vivace, dovuta alla vicinanza all'oceano. Complesso, salino e profondamente minerale, con un potenziale di invecchiamento eccezionale.

Chamomile, pineapples, hints of pine cone and lemons on the nose. Medium-bodied with a creamy, almost oily texture while retaining fantastic freshness. Bright, tight finish. Drink or hold. (Claire Nesbitt)
This Certified Heritage Vineyard, planted in 1984, produces a characterful, idiosyncratic wine from sandy soils to the west of Malmesbury, close to the Atlantic. David Sadie describes it as ‘an oasis in the desert'. Harvested in three separate pickings, this is aromatically elusive at first, with a mineral, stony nose and notes of white pepper and green pear. It opens with time in the glass to reveal green banana, mango, cherry stones, crystallised lime and a touch of lemongrass. The palate is shaped by edgy, nervous acidity, with a lightly briny note and a hint of capers on the finish. A little spiky right now, and slightly lean in the middle, but intriguing and rewarding to follow in the glass. (Jason Millar)
Coming from a vineyard originally planted in 1984, the 2022 Rondevlei Chenin Blanc is expressive, fresh and complex, with fantastic concentration and impeccable weight and depth. Medium-bodied, the Chenin Blanc offers a delightfully spicy mineral essence across the mid-palate with notions of spiced lemon rind and yellow apple skin before ending with a balanced finish. It's a fantastic wine with more than a decade of life left. Enjoy with food. (Anthony Mueller)
