Kalmoesfontein White Blend

Beautiful nose of white flowers, lime cordial, lychees, white peaches, guavas and fresh green apples. It’s medium- to full-bodied, delightfully fruity and floral, with a silky and supple texture. A field blend of 45% chenin blanc, 11% clairette blanche, 10% grenache blanc, 8% palomino, 8% viognier, 8% roussanne, 5% muscat d’Alexandrie and 5% verdelho, picked and pressed together. Delicious now but can hold for a few years too.

This kitchen-sink blend, which includes nine different varieties, is superbly pretty right from the start, with tremendous floral scents that flood the bouquet—honeysuckle, jasmine, apple blossom and fresh fynbos. Supporting fruit flavors of pink apple and white melon rind ground the clean and direct palate. Vibrant and pure, it boasts stony minerality and notes of freshly dried grass that prevail on the finish. It's enticing now, but it should also continue to mature well through 2022.
