IKOYI White 2023
"The combination on the nose of exoticism (beeswax, macadamia nuts, yuzu, yellow plums) and vigour (grapefruit peel, fresh ginger, wet stones, sea breeze, apple blossom, pine) is very appealing. The palate also has a good balance of zestiness and slightly richer nuances. Juicy citrus and white stone fruit convert to waxed pears, toasted pine nuts and salted caramel, but always pulled along by tongue-tingling acids. The passage in oak has given the wine broader shoulders but done nothing to stunt the tension and purity." Tom Harrow, Head Wine Guru In order to craft a top-notch Chenin Blanc, we were keen to work with Jonathan Maltus OBE, one of the original Saint Émilion garagistes, and Jonathan teamed up with Cape Winemakers Guild member Rianie Strydom of Strydom Family Wines. The best examples of this signature white from South Africa has rare appeal to both lovers of white Burgundy and Sauvignon Blanc. Ours comes from a site 300m above sea-level, from the northern slopes of the Helderberg. Planted in 1988 the 35-year old vines are very low-yielding (around 30 hl/ha) and the vineyard lies in the “Golden Triangle” of Stellenbosch, close to Haskell Vineyards, Alto and Rust en Vrede.
Jesse Katz Exposed Sonoma County Chardonnay 2022
This wine has a beautiful richness and brightness to balance one an other. There is incredible aromas of Meyer lemon, quince and and a hint of beeswax. The palate offers incredible layers of tangy bright fruits and a core of minerality. A beautiful wine on it's own or with food with pronounced minerality, green apple, stone fruits and citrus blossom.
