Description

2023 The Sadie Family Wines, Kokerboom, Die Distriksreeks, Olifants River, South AfricaThis is an astonishing wine: a glorious Semillon that really delivers on every point. White flowers and citrus driven on the nose, with a hint of white pepper spice in the background. As youd expect, this has all of the typical Semillon hallmarks on the palate: rich and oily, with a refreshing mineral backbone keeping everything in check and in balance. There is real depth and power here, and the wine has a wonderful texture and full bodied mouthfeel.

Poruzots is a vineyard quick to ripen and

the wine is not oaky and comes through as harmonious and elegant within the house style

the way I choose to look at it is that the fine weather in the second half of the growing season didn't save the quantities but it did save the quality

A truly great wine for the table

Rita Hills-focused label between Justin Willett and Étienne de Montille takes a 'low and slow' approach to the winemaking process

A very pretty and airy nose features notes of red cherry

Established in 1881

hands-on vineyard management to coax the greatest potential of each vintage out of the various plots

There is excellent verve and detail to the surprisingly fine and appealingly textured larger-scaled flavors that possess focused power on the firm

Racy and giving on the palate but with a good underlying structure

layered profile that includes ample red and black fruits as well as perfumed notes of leafy herbs

will continue drinking nicely for another two decades
