Description

"What a truly delicious wine. It is great to see that despite the age of this wine it is still giving and will continue to do so for many years yet. It has a zippy acidity that translates from the nose to the palate well. As far as aromatics are concerned be prepared for white peach, lemon drop, pears, green apple and tangerines. This opens up after a few minutes in the decanter to show off some great floral notes. A great wine!"

Naude Wines

Naudé Wines is the culmination of a journey that began more than 30 years ago. Since that first harvest I’ve worked all over the world hoping to craft wines that tell a story of time and place. I love the diversity we have in South Africa. Not just of the people but the soils the microclimates and the wine varietals that thrive under their own unique conditions. I’m fortunate to have been introduced to a few of these vineyards and work with some of the wonderful grapes that they produce many of these from certified old vines. The grapes on these vines are storied complex and unique. Each year they represent something different – whatever nature allows them – and with any luck I don’t get in the way.

 

 

--------THE GRAPE--------

Bordeaux White Blend

Lesser known to its red counterpart of Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon as the Bordeaux Red Blend. However, the Bordeaux White Blend made up of Semillon and Sauvignon Blanc is highly important as it makes the dry whites as well as the sweet wines of Sauternes. This blend be it dry or sweet is repeated the world over. Interestingly enough, Semillon is often the major part of the blend and Sauvignon Blanc is added in to give a bit of acid or heighten the aromatics.

 

--------THE REGION--------

Western Cape

The Western Cape is similar to Australia's 'South Australia' region - in the ways that it is a legal region that allows for the wineries to source fruit from all of the sub-regions within the larger region. The larger region in this case is: 'Western Cape', and all the sub-regions cover every main growing area in South Africa.
