Badenhorst Family White 2018

$65.00

Wines of this ilk are unique to South Africa and are a real treasures of terrific value. Aromatically complex with green apple, pear, lavender honey, mushroom, grapefruit and mandarin. Pure and lithe, clarity and texture, this really is the most complex and detailed palate you can imagine. Full bodied, creamy, spicy and full of juicy fruit. Cut through with a chalk like texture and zingy acidity. Voluminous and sleek. Absolutely wonderful. Waters Wine Co

Made from 10 to 12 different varieties, the grapes are all sourced from the Swartland and the wine tries to represent the region instead of a specific variety or style but with all grapes grown on decomposed Granite soils. The nose is pithy and spicy with hints of pear, fynbos, dry thatch and back ground hints of tangerine, naartjie, peach and green apples. The palate is crisp, crystalline, pure and bright with a lovely harmonious balance, a delicate lick of vanilla and oak, subtle savoury lees characters and a long, sweet / sour intense finish loaded with pineapple pastille and yellow rock candy. Powerful, intense and textural. A really lovely Swartland expression. 94+ Points – Greg Sherwood MW, Wine Safari
