Secateurs Swartland Chenin Blanc 2023

Primarily Chenin Blanc with small amounts of Semillon and Grenache Blanc blended in. Light golden color. Expensive aromas of stone fruit, white flowers, flint and honey. Flavors of cooked peaches, ripe apples, tangerine and a subtle mineral backbone. A touch of honey on the long and lingering finish. Slightly creamy/silky texture. (Lees aging?) Vibrant and zesty acidity. Rich and round with a great mouthfeel. Consistently solid vintage after vintage. Appreciate you adding this one to the tasting lineup, Chris B. I need to drink more Chenin. — a month ago

Old Vines Chenin Blanc Blend 2020

Always like this field blend based on Chenin.
Golden nectar with peach and Mellon flavours. Acidity balanced by a little oiliness from the viognier in the mix.

Swartland Syrah 2020

Deep purple, the 2018 Porseleinberg Syrah reveals alluring aromas of dark plum, black cherry, blackberry, black pepper, dried lavender wood smoke and even some rose water. On the palate, this full-bodied South African Syrah offers great tension and flavor complexity, adding notes of ripe strawberry, iodine and earth. The long, lingering finish confirm an outstanding wine. 100% whole bunch fermentation, aged for 12 months in large oak barrels and a small portion in concrete eggs. Drink now until 2040. — 4 years ago
