Made from very old bush vines rooted in decomposed granite, it combines concentration, precision, and a distinctly mineral character in a style that has made David \u0026amp; Nadia one of the leading names in modern South African wine.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn the glass, this Chenin Blanc shows a bright, luminous profile with remarkable clarity and finesse. The nose unfolds with quince, yellow apple, pear, and white peach, followed by citrus peel, herbs, and white flowers; with air, notes of honey, flint, almond, and saline minerality emerge.\n\nOn the palate, it is focused, layered, and beautifully textured, with vibrant acidity giving lift and tension to the wine’s ripe fruit and stony core. The finish is long, dry, and elegantly salty, with enough depth and structure to age gracefully for many years, developing even more nuance and complexity over time.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProduction\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe Hoe-Steen vineyard is a prized old-vine site in Swartland, planted on weathered granite soils that contribute to the wine’s vivid mineral edge and linear structure. The grapes are hand-harvested with careful selection, then fermented with native yeasts and handled with minimal intervention to preserve the character of the vineyard. The wine is matured for several months on fine lees in used oak barrels, adding texture and complexity without obscuring freshness or purity.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFood \u0026amp; Serving\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis is an excellent match for scallops, lobster, stone bass, and other shellfish, as well as truffle chicken, veal, and Mediterranean-style vegetable dishes. Serve slightly chilled, ideally around 10–12°C, and consider decanting briefly if you want to open up its aromatic layers and mineral complexity.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProducer\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDavid \u0026amp; Nadia, led by husband-and-wife team David and Nadia Sadie, have become one of the most respected producers in South Africa’s Swartland region.
