2022 Sadie Family Wines Skerpioen White

Tim Atkin MW 98 – “[13%] Follow the salt trail” says Eben Sadie of this world-class blend of equal parts Chenin Blanc and Palomino from sand and limestone soils close to the Atlantic Ocean. Rivalling the whites of Santorini in Greece for intensity, concentration and minerality, it’s a savoury, focused, windswept delight, with rockpool, oyster shell, lime and citrus flavours. 2024-2030.”
Wine Advocate 96 – “Made from Chenin Blanc and Palomino, the 2022 Old Vine Series Skerpioen displays aromas of wax melon with hints of sea spray and lemon skin before offering a dusty floral essence. Medium-bodied and with excellent mineral tension, the palate bursts to life with energetic acidity, showing layers of freshness and complexity before ending with a lively, food-friendly finish. Only 7,400 bottles were produced of this gorgeous wine.”
