Scions of Sinai Granitas White Blend 2025

60% Chenin Blanc, 28% Grenache Blanc, 7% Chardonnay, 5% Roussanne, all from vineyards on granite soils, Stellenbosch and Voor-Paardeberg. Fermented and matured for eight months in barrel, foudre and stainless steel. The nose is very primary at this stage with a faint floral top note before citrus, yellow apple and peach while the palate is clean and fresh with a gently savoury finish – a subtle wine, quite neutral in flavour but has some texture. Probably needs another six months, if not a full year, to come into its own. Alcohol: 12.47%.
