2017 Sijnn White, Malgas

2017 Sijnn White, Malgas

A blend of Chenin Blanc, Viognier and Roussanne, this treads the line between upfront fruit and savouriness. Notes of peach and ripe apples, as well as a nuttiness, and a precise yet ripe finish. Unique in South Africa, and brilliantly judged.

Tasting notes

Sijnn's amazing reds get most of the plaudits, but this white cuvée of mostly Chenin Blanc with 25% of Viognier and Roussanne is pretty special too. Sourced from schist, shale and round river stone soils – Sijnn is the Khoisan word for a riverbed - it's a rich, textured, dry farmed delight with thatch and stone fruit characters and thrilling freshness and minerality.
