1. THE UNWOODED CHENIN
Marras Piekenierskloof Chenin Blanc 2017, R69.99
Winemaker Martin “Marras” Lamprecht produces complex, flavourful wines from 30-year-old dryland bush vines on the Piekenierskloof mountain pass between Piketberg and Citrusdal, where West Coast evening breezes ensure cooler ripening conditions.
Tasting notes: The terroir delivers minerality and white fruit character (litchi, pear, white peach); cold fermentation captures freshness; five percent barrel fermentation adds texture; and six months on the lees provides beautiful creaminess.
