2022 Wit Versnit, Patatsfontein

What used to be called Patatsblanc, this is blend of Colombard and Chenin Blanc. The wine is intense and focussed, with beautiful definition of fruit. Easy going but precise, there's an almost Chablis-like character to the fruit on the finish.

Tasting notes

Wit Versnit is the new name for the rechristened Patatsblanc from Montagu's slate soils and is a separately fermented assemblage of Colombard with 34% Chenin Blanc. Stony and herbaceous, it has a waft of oak spices, fennel, quince and citrus peel flavours and a pithy, mineral core. 2024-27
