About this Item

2022 Saskia-Jo
12 (2 x 6) 750ml

“The best glass of wine in the world is the one in front of you. So you must not be too worried about how much it cost or exactly where it came from. Really, just enjoying it for what it is. If you are enjoying it in that moment, it is the best wine in the world.” - Miles Mossop

85% Chenin Blanc, 15% Clairette Blanche

Wine of Origin: Swartland
Winemaker: Miles Mossop

This wine is an authentic expression of old bush-vine Chenin Blanc sourced from the Paardeberg in the Swartland region. To enhance complexity, a portion of Clairette Blanche from the same area is blended in. Both varietals thrive in the decomposed granite soils of the region, contributing to the wine's unique terroir-driven character. The Chenin Blanc vines boast an impressive age of 51 years, while the Clairette Blanche vines are 43 years old. During fermentation, the Chenin Blanc undergoes the process in an older 400-litre French oak barrel, while the Clairette Blanche ferments in a concrete egg.

Tasting Notes: White and yellow peach, fennel bulb with hints of citrus blossom emanate from the glass. The palate bursts with stone fruit flavours leading to a crisp saline and pithy finish.

Ready for drinking 5 to 10 years from vintage.
