Damascene Stellenbosch Chenin Blanc 2023
R536.00
A complex expression of three mountainous vineyards, featuring shale, greywacke and granite soils. From vines planted as early as 1972.
This Stellenbosch edition is the marginally more restrained of the two Damascene Chenins. Nevertheless, it opens with lovely notes of gravel dust and dried herbs, alongside allusions to white peach, butter toffee, and freshly-cut Starking apple pieces. The palate is both impressively structured and concentrated, with its chalky texture giving form to the flow of crisp apples and stone fruit.
