2018 Sout van die Aarde Palomino, AA Badenhorst

2018 Sout van die Aarde Palomino, AA Badenhorst

Very pure fruit, with notes of apple blossom and pears, and candied citrus, too. The palate is restrained and focussed, with incredible texture on the finish.

Tasting notes

The Palomino grapes from this coastal Swartland vineyard are always delivered with a little sand, but it's the limestone bedrock that has a greater influence on the style of this incredible wine. Saline, focused and refreshing, with a finish that lasts for over a minute, it wouldn't look out of place among the best Listán Blancos from Tenerife.
