This vibrant and pristine Sauvignon Blanc combines grassy aromas of fresh herbs and green pepper, with citric notes of grapefruit and lime. The palate is fresh and crisp, with a natural balanced acidity and a fruity finish.

 

The Viña Echeverría Reserva range comprises seven wines, which are characterized by their lively and fruity appeal. Fresh and vibrant with little or no oak, they are a true expression of the individuality of each grape variety. These are wines which work as well as aperitif or house wines, as they do with food. The grapes for this wine are hand-picked and the wine is fermented in stainless steel tanks.

Six superb parcels of Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc are selected to form the Annabel Sauvignon Blanc. One particular parcel is considered that special that it gets hand-picked for this ‘Grand Cru’ style wine. All parcels provide a unique expression; the ensemble delivers a range of vibrant flavours.

All parcels are fermented with different yeast strains, at different temperatures in order to emphasize the differences in fruit flavours and aromas. Obviously the handpicked parcel is special to us, we let it ferment and mature in barriques for some 5 months. Lees stirring these barrels further helps to creates that small percentage of a creamy / ‘leesy’ component. All this together ellevates the Annabel to a Grand Cru, subtle but complex still very recognisably ‘Marlborough’ Sauvignon Blanc.

76% Sauvignon Blanc and 24% Semillon from Stellenbosch, the Overberg and Villiersdorp. Matured for 12 months in 500-litre barrels, of which 20% was new, and concrete eggs. Elderflower, blackcurrant and peach on the nose. The palate is super-rich and concentrated, creamy in texture, the acidity well integrated and the finish savoury. Alc: 13.7%.

 

Reviewed by Tim Atkin MW (previous vintage)

“A best-ever release of Savage White in a challenging vintage, this is a beautifully judged cuvée of Sauvignon Blanc and 25% Semillon, fermented in 20% new wood. Using fruit from Stellenbosch, the Overberg and Villiersdorp, it has a top note of stony reduction, pithy lemongrass and pink grapefruit flavours, scented, spicy oak and a palate of remarkable tension and energy.” 

Each case contains 2 bottle of each:

 

 

Tawse Quarry Road Riesling - 2021

 

Organically farmed, this wine has complex notes of white flower, slate, and petrol. The palate reveals candied ginger, pineapple, and pear. Well-balanced Rieslings such as this one are well suited for foods with some acidity such as an apple glazed pork belly, or any dish with a bit of spice like Pad Thai.

 

Tawse Grower's Blend Cab Franc - 2020

Made from select Cabernet Franc vineyards in Niagara. The Grower’s Blend Cab Franc from the 2020 vintage is ripe, rich and smooth due to the near-perfect growing conditions. Barrel aged for 16 months, this wine shows notes of blueberry, blackberry,cigar box. A prime example of of how well Cabernet Franc does as a single varietal in Ontario.

 

Bachelder Gamay Wiley - 2022

A pure mid-cherry colour that leads to a graceful pomegranate, sour-cherry and cherry-pit nose and offers a fuller mouthfeel with a muted fruit and a rusty, iron-tinged edge so typical of Bench wines. Make no mistake: there is great volume developing here. The “cérises vanillées” ride on a great wave of orange zest and grenadine-like fruit that almost obscures the liquorice-all-sorts complexity.

 

Bachelder Villages Pinot - 2020

Elegant, immense and lightly astringent. A great, corrupt nose of red and black fruit shines – currently with cloves and spice behind and already turning agreeably tertière! Lovely and rose-petaled, and rich in the mouth. The striking acidity and the glycerine-silkiness simply surprise! The finish is long, and only slightly (but ripely) tannic. Shockingly good now, yet so ageable over half a decade! Here, right here, is a wine that will be largely drunk TOO YOUNG -  but still has much, so much to give, to reveal! If you want to age a truly great Pinot Noir that doesn’t cost $$$, this is the one!

 

The Long Way Home Chardonnay - 2022

A classic expression of Chardonnay grown in the cool-climate of the Beamsville Bench. Made from a single vineyard with minimal intervention, this is a blend of cool, skin fermented and whole bunch pressed, barrel fermented fruit, aged for 10 months in French oak. The wine shows fresh aromatics, balanced natural acidity and a fine, creamy texture.

 

Benjamin Bridge Brut - NV

In the glass, a pale golden colour with a straw hue. On the nose, the wine displays suggestions of smoke and lemon rind with strong sea minerals undertones. The palate is luscious, but with good intensity and vibrancy. Hints of green apples and dried cranberries are magnified by the wine’s bright structure, unfolding in a lengthy mineral finish.

Bright fruit on the nose with nectarine, pear and melon. Followed by touches of spice, lemongrass and ginger, with hints of floral and scrub.

A dry white wine, Haarlem To Hope is a blend of Chenin Blanc (81%) and Semillon (19%). These heritage varieties were brought to the Cape Winelands by early Dutch settlers (from Haarlem) and are part of the cornerstones of grape growing in the Cape of Good Hope for more than three centuries.

98 Points, Tim Atkin

"Part of a trilogy of Chenin Blancs – and the only one from Eben Sadie’s base in the Swartland – this is a brilliant second release from very bony, decomposed granite soils on the Paardeberg. Perfumed, elegant, steely and refined, it has a Grand Cru Chablis-like focus and intensity, all wet stones and oyster shell, with rock salt and fresh lime flavours and the seamless concentration of its 39-year-old bush vines."

 

The Rotsbank vineyard is located in the Paardeberg in the Aprilskloof on a rock shelf that barely has 30 – 50 cm of soil in most parts. It is incredible to think that this vineyard survives year after year. Many of the roots in the soil have found cracks in this rock shelf, and the limited natural growth of this vineyard makes for incredibly concentrated fruit. Since 2008 we have wanted to produce a Swartland Chenin Blanc, but the 2022 vintage materialised as the first after we were very fortunate to purchase the vineyard. This 2023 Rotsbank bottling displays match flint, almost crushed oyster shell aromas with grapefruit aspects. The wine is incredibly concentrated on the aromatics, and the tannins have massive tension. The wine’s substantial acidity and dry finish suggest that it will only benefit much from the time in the bottle. It is one of the most linear expressions of the year. It is a blue steel Chenin

Winemaker Notes:

Our flagship white wine, a wine of grace and elegance, is a classic Bordeaux blend of Sauvignon Blanc and Sémillon. Each vineyard block was separately harvested, by hand, at peak maturity. The grapes were whole-cluster pressed and then fermented entirely in barrel (French oak puncheons) with the majority undergoing only wild, spontaneous fermentation. One-quarter of the barrels were also allowed to undergo wild malolactic fermentation. All lots were barrel-aged for nine months, on the lees, with lees stirring. The final wine was created by blending together just the very best barrel lots, in order to create a wine of true complexity and elegance.

This wine is light gold in the glass. It has intense aromas of grapefruit, beeswax, lime zest, and meadow grasses. On the palate, it shows an array of flavours: lemon and lime and ripe grapefruit, with notes of peach and apricot and all tied together with bright, crisp citrus acidity. On the palate, the wine is full and rich with a textural softness resulting from sur-lie ageing. A lovely saline minerality strings it all together, through to the very long finish.

 96 points, Tim Atkin

“In memory of Basie,” reads the label, which is a nice tribute to the legendary grower, Basie van Lill, from whose farm Eben Sadie sources Skurfberg. Using dry-farmed grapes from a 0.8-ha parcel on red granite and iron soils, this is pale, floral and comparatively forward for a wine from this terroir, with passion fruit, peach and lemon zest flavours and the minerality that comes with the territory on Citrusdal Mountain."

 

The Skurfberg Mountain is part of the Citrusdal mountain area and the word Skurfberg (Rugged Mountain) mainly refers to the edgy and rough appearance of the mountain. The soil is mainly decomposed Table Mountain sandstone formations and tends to be very sandy. It is a truly great site for Chenin and it is most unusual that such a warm and dry area still produces wines with this enormous texture and freshness.

 

 For this 2023 Skurfberg vintage, we also opted to pick seemingly prematurely, as it is in the Citrusdal Mountains and shares the same seasonal dynamics. The physiology of the fruit seemed delayed, yet the wine also yielded 13.9% alcohol. The combination of the volume of the wine and the firm acidity makes for an incredible wine that is essentially built to last. The trademark granny smith apple, pear skin, and lanolin are very present in the aromas. The wine’s viscosity and volume, combined with the cutting acidity, suggest that this vintage has the mechanics to age incredibly well, like Kokerboom.

In the glass, a shiny straw colour with a golden wheat hue. On the nose, a combination of citrus oils, bittersweet floral perfume, lime and tangerine are interlaced with saline coastal undertones. The palate is naturally plush yet dry, with an inherent softness and roundness coming from within. Suggestions of orange creamsicle, pear tart and freshly cut grass and botanicals make way for a vibrant, echoing finale.

Wild Rock is a completely new and unprecedented display of inherent roundness and softness; dry, yet anything but racy and angular. Expect this wine to convey extraordinary aromatic and textural depth, something that can only come from circumstances as rare and challenging as the Nova Scotian agricultural tour-de-force.

 98 points, Tim Atkin

"Follow the salt trail" says Eben Sadie of this world-class blend of equal parts Chenin Blanc and Palomino from sand and limestone soils close to the Atlantic Ocean. Rivalling the whites of Santorini in Greece for intensity, concentration and minerality, it's a savoury, focused, windswept delight, with rockpool, oyster shell, lime and citrus flavours."

 

Skerpioen (Scorpion) is a wine from a very unique location halfway between Dwarskersbos and Elands Bay on the West Coast. One of the most amazing aspects of this location is the fact that the soils are chalky (limestone). In addition to that it is one of the coolest parts of the Swartland region, located a mere 2km from the Atlantic Ocean, but it is also a very dry area with an average rainfall of around 300mm per year.

 

 This location is home to some of the most intense south-easterly winds and the old vines look almost abused after having been battered by winds and blowing sand for years and years.

 

The 2023 Skerpioen displays the usual limey and citrus flavours associated with the vineyard. This wine’s distinctive saline qualities, salty taste, and minerality are again prominent. The Chenin and Palomino field blend is very stable annually in its expression. The tannins and the acidity are slightly softer than in the last two vintages, and this vintage could be savoured earlier as the balance and mouthfeel are already very balanced.

"Opens slowly with the fragrance of cool lemony citrus, bergamot and mandarin. There’s an undertone of fresh beeswax and flint. A portrait of the Swartland, with 17 different vineyards making up the components. Eben believes this vintage is ‘a strong contender for the most restrained’ in [its] five year run. The parcels were wild fermented in concrete eggs and amphora... The palate is radiant with white peach, limes, orchard apples and tangy nectarine, rippled through with a liquid mineral acidity that carries the fruit into a resonant, layered finish."

 

Over the past 5 years Palladius has been the wine that grew the most in quality and refinement and much of this has to do with the addition of more vineyards and the improvement of their viticulture. Currently of all our wines, the Palladius, with 17 vineyards, obviously represents the biggest canvas of the Swartland. The 2022 starts by almost playing hide-and-seek; the wine is more reserved and holding back. And only after warming up and a couple of minutes in the glass does the conversation start. The aromas are that of green apple and citrus flint, and then some of the stone fruit aromas begin to shine through. The wine needs time. The palate is already balanced, and the acidity is met by very firm tannins. The aftertaste is lingering. This bottling is a great vintage to follow the 2021. It is a strong contender for the most restrained version, but we must taste 2021 and 2022 with some age to have a final verdict. As always, it is suggested to age this wine for a minimum of 4 - 6 years.

No fewer than 17 parcels and 11 varieties (for now) contribute to the blend of this impressive white.
