Tasting Note

The 2021 Chenin Blanc Skaliekop comes from vines planted on shale soils in Paardeberg in 1985 and was picked over three times, each aged separately. This has an appealing bouquet with orange blossom, dried honey, chamomile and light spicy aromas - very complex. The palate is very well balanced with a lovely texture and fine acidity; the Skaliekop is a little softer and more caressing on the finish than the Rondevlei, stem ginger tingling on the aftertaste. Very fine. - Neal Martin, Vinous

Product Notes

David & Nadia's Skaliekop Chenin Blanc wine is an exquisite South African vintage, elegantly crafted from old, bush-vine Chenin Blanc grapes sourced from the majestic Skaliekop hill. Enchanting notes of quince, yellow apple, and pear mingle with touches of camomile and citrus, hallmarked by profound minerality. Unveiling a lovely texture for the palate, it's a harmonious blend of intensity and restraint, giving it a striking complexity. This robust yet sophisticated white wine is matured in old French oak and is a testament to the terroir's potential, showcasing the rare and unique expression of Swartland. Perfect for indulgent sipping or to elevate a grand feast.
