Joostenberg Estate BIO Fairhead (Roussane, Chenin, Viognier), Paarl 2018
Rs1,164.00
Tax included
Every year we make a small batch of white wine named after Joostenberg’s current matriarch and gardener extraordinaire, Gillian Fairhead. This wine honours the women of Joostenberg whose substantial efforts, in a male dominated society, have often been unrecognized. The core of the wine is old vine Chenin Blanc and the blending partners are the more exotic Roussanne and Viognier varietals.
Medium-bodied, luscious white wine. Layers of flavours and subtle wooding. Will develop even more complexity over the next 2-5 years.
A lovely organic white blend from Paarl. It's Rhône styled - led by 78% Chenin Blanc, 18% Rousanne & 4% Viognier. It's named after the matriarch of the Myburg family, Gillian Fairhead, described as a 'gardener extraordinaire' on the label. Fermented in oak barrels & left on the lees for 15 months before being blended. A deep shining straw colour, with gold edges. The nose & palate display strong dried apricot & orange peach, with added pineapple, pear, litchi, honey & soft wood. Some stunning minerality closes it off before a short to medium finish. Another Joostenberg triumph!
