2022 Skaliekop Chenin Blanc, David & Nadia, Swartland

2022 Skaliekop Chenin Blanc, David & Nadia, Swartland

Planted in 1985, this is very intense and savoury and saline. There’s such tension here, with real purity and lots of minerality on the finish. From the vineyard next to Plat’Bos, but so different in style: this has more rippling energy.

Tasting notes

Late picked from a parcel on shale and clay soils, Skaliekop is the richest and most exotic of David and Nadia Sadie's brilliant range of single vineyard Chenin Blancs. Showing some of the concentration of the 2022 vintage, it has layers of pear and stone fruit and the underlying freshness and minerality that are typical of the couple's wines. 2024-30
