Product Description:
The 2022 Skerpioen opens with plenty of fruit on the nose, lime, citrus and chamomile. The wine's saline qualities and minerality are also very pronounced. The tannins are firm and the acidity is fresh, with a typical finish for this site and terroir.

Vinifikation This 2.4-hectare, 60-year-old parcel is located 2 km from the Atlantic and is one of the coolest and driest spots in Swartland, with approx. 300mm of rainfall 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 extreme soil formation and climate shape the wine's mineral and 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.
