Tasting notes
Characterful crisp dry white wine. Sparkling white-yellow colour with brilliant tears. Tight nose onset with blossoms, fresh herbs, green apple, peach and rhubarb, white pepper and a hint of vanilla. Tight flavour onset that begs to be decanted; opens itself slowly to a lusciously rich texture with characterful acids and a lace evolution towards the endless finish. Ultimate cellar wine. Requires serious dishes on the table, such as short-fried or grilled langoustines with citrus oil, grilled lobster with fennel, stuffed corn-fed chicken with truffle and girolle mushrooms; with aged hard cheeses. Serving temperature: 14°C
Wine Story
Naudé Wines is the culmination of a journey that began more than 30 years ago. Since that first harvest, I’ve worked all over the world, hoping to craft wines that tell a story of time and place.
I love the diversity we have in South Africa. Not just of the people, but the soils, the microclimates, and the wine varietals that thrive under their own unique conditions. I’m fortunate to have been introduced to a few of these vineyards, and work with some of the wonderful grapes that they produce, many of these from certified old vines.
The grapes on these vines are storied, complex and unique. Each year they represent something different – whatever nature allows them – and with any luck, I don’t get in the way.
