Devon Minnow

Sharpham Estate

South Devon Bacchus 2014

9.1

My research shows this varietal has German origins, and it shows since it displays hints of a Riesling. Tilts sweet with a nice playful sweetness. Primarily citrus fruits on the front palate, with hints of sherbet on the rear. Nice acidity has served to protect this from decline. Could go another 3 years at a push. — 7 months ago

Kruger-Rumpf

Im Pitterberg Riesling GG 2020

From grey Devon slate in the north Nahe. Picked by hand and fermented in 2,000L neutral oak. Acid, fruit, and minerality. Every thing I want in a structured GG. I feel lucky to have snagged a case of half bottles. A producer to keep eyes on. — 2 years ago

Minnow Roussanne 2022

Really like this wine for the price. Not terribly complex but still ticks a lot of boxes. Lots of body, good stone fruit (not terribly complex but nice), nice length. Apparently younger vines — 3 years ago

Casanel Vineyards

Estate Middleburg Cabernet Sauvignon 2014

At 7+ years old, this is showing its balance & varietal beauty! Dark cherry chewy fruit and classy tannins sing in harmony. Going to pair with Certified Devon beef prepared as burgers. So, the ‘14 vintage was moderate (almost cool) that was very beneficial for preserving acids. Acidity certainly adds the aging process. 1 more bottle in the cellar. — 4 years ago

Citrusdal Mountain Chenin Blanc 2017

South African Chenin from the Devon Valley. Intense aromas and flavors of lemon zest and melon. Hints of apple and pear. A touch of minerality completes this complex white. Fruit forward but not sweet. Full, crisp and round. Left on the lees for nine months. Just a bit of oak aging. Balanced acidity. Just a terrific wine. Great with Asian take out. Thanks Kase! — 6 years ago

The winery is in Devon Valley but the grapes for this wine come from Skurfberg in Citrusdal (around 3 hours north of Cape Town) where some of SA's most epic Chenin Blanc is grown.

Appreciate the intel, Garth. We wanted to participate in #spectacularsouthafrica last weekend, and we really enjoyed this wine.
