Product Description:
The 2023 Skerpioen shows the typical lime and citrus aromas of this vineyard, with distinct salty characteristics and minerality. The field blend of Chenin and Palomino is very stable in its expression each year. The tannins and acidity are somewhat softer than in the last two vintages.

Vinifikation This 2.4-hectare, 60-year-old plot is located 2 km from the Atlantic Ocean and is one of the coolest and driest sites in Swartland, receiving approximately 300mm of rain per year – yet it is not irrigated. Chenin Blanc and Palomino are grown as a field blend in a 60:40 ratio on the snow-white limestone soil. This stark soil formation and climate shape the wine's mineral-austere character. The grapes are harvested, pressed, and fermented together in two old barrels at the same time. Spontaneous fermentation can last up to 6 months and is only completed in the following spring with malolactic fermentation. The Skerpioen remains on its lees in the barrel for the entire 12 months.
