2022 ‘Lindi Carien’ White Blend, Western Cape, Lourens Family Wines
£28.00
““A picture of the Cape” is how Franco Lourens describe this pan-regional cuvée of six different varieties, dominated by Chenin Blanc with back up from 48% Verdelho, Colombard, Grenache Blanc, Palomino and Malvasía. Showing some structure from partial skin contact, it has quince, yellow apple and subtle stone fruit flavours and a chiselled, mouth-watering finish.”
94 Points, Tim Atkin MW
52% Chenin Blanc from Paardeberg (40-year-old vines) and Piekenierskloof (61-year-old vines), 27% Verdelho from Stellenbosch and Voor-Paardeberg, 13% Colombard from Swartland, 5% Grenache Blanc from Piekenierskloof and 3% Palomino from Piekenierskloof (47-year-old vines). Fermented and matured for 10 months in old neutral 300-litre and 500-litre barrels.
“Greenish pale straw. Tight and then amply fruited. Really exciting! Such a future ahead of it.”
