2021 Smaug the Magnificent, Blank Bottle

2021 Smaug the Magnificent, Blank Bottle

Grenache blanc, Verdelho, Grenache Gris and other bits and pieces, all sourced from the Voor-Paardeberg, this is a delicious mediterranean-inspired blend, that has so much savoury, herbal character, with pith, and long finish. We’re fascinated to see how this ages.

Tasting notes

A wine that has a label designed by Pieter Walser's talented son, Smaug is a Voor Paardeberg cuvée of mostly Grenache Blanc with the remaining 56% made up of Roussanne, Verdelho, Chenin Blanc, Viognier and Grenache Gris. Coiled like a spring, this combines fynbos and beeswax aromas with a steely palate of green fig, lemon zest and greengage. 2024-29
