Chenin Blanc Skaliekop, David & Nadia 2020

Tasting Notes

An Old Vine Project wine for the first time in the 2020 vintage, being from a vineyard planted in 1985.
Almost colourless. Almost stinky, it’s so mineral-driven on the nose! But on the palate it’s much broader and friendlier. Very fine satin texture with a freshness and obvious ageability that recalls Rafa Palacios’s Godellos. (Apologies for all these non-South African parallels.)
