Damascene Swartland Chenin Blanc 2025
R 595.00
From three Paardeberg vineyards, planted in 1971, 1979 and 1986 respectively. Matured for 10 months in a combination of 1,000 litre foudre and concrete. Teasing aromatics of pear, peach, lime, lemon, herbs, fynbos and a faint flinty reduction. The palate is all precision and tension with arresting acidity and a bone-dry, exceptionally persistent finish. Restrained and direct, yet with enough fruit weight to avoid either leanness or severity. Alc: 11.83%.
CE’s rating: 98 | Serious
