Paserene

Bright 2019, Chardonnay

Sourced from three vineyards with very different soils; Elgin, Tulbagh and Franschhoek. Barrel fermented and aged in French Oak (15% New)

The original Paserene Chardonnay is powerhouse that will benefit from a decade in bottle. So it was a joy to find this little sibling so inviting – whipped lemon curd, neroli oil and jasmine on the nose, with a palate loaded with candied lemon peel, crystallised pineapple, creme patisierre, almond croissants loaded with marzipan and a toasty roundness. We can’t exalt this wine anymore! Over delivers in spades.

As Martin says, “A wine to drink and enjoy whilst you wait for the flagship range to mature!”

Dark 2018 Syrah

This syrah is sourced from two sites, one in the shallow low yielding soils of Tulbagh and the other in their more fertile Franschhoek vineayards.

A Syrah to transport you to South Africa! Like walking through a herb garden in the early evening, -bruised lavender and chopped thyme, the sweetness of blueberry and plums. A nod to Côte-Rôtie with bit of iodine and rock, but with gentle tannins and a lifted acid frame.

A crowd pleaser and extremely likeable.

Emerald 2019, Sauvignon Blanc

Sourced from two Cape regions; the first, Elgin, where the rocky shale soils bring great complexity and weight. The second, Franschhoek, where the fine sandy soils bring the tropical notes.

Don’t let the nose of this sauvignon blanc put you off – on first sniff, it’s certainly an unabashed sauvignon blanc, with masses of nettly, blackcurrant leaf notes, finely chopped green pepper, green apple and white pepper.

Don’t expect Emerald to be all Kiwi sauvignon; tropical, gooseberry and elderflower . Expect it to open and broaden with the palate brimming with Canteloupe melon, super ripe mango and passion fruit. Crying out to be paired with a baked goats cheese drizzled with honey, or radicchio with an orangey dressing!

Rosie 2019

A top pick for this summer. A Rhone inspired, 80% Carignan, 17% Mourvedre, 3% Syrah. Serious food friendly wine, neutral oak, textural and complex.

Pale in colour, packed full of summer fruits; Strawberries, fresh cherries and rose hips, with a pleasantly textured palate thanks to a good part of the wine being fermented and aged in old oak and adding a little cinnamon and spice to the finish. Very moreish and zingy finish.

Shiner No 2. 2018

100% Estate grown: 80% sauvignon blanc and 20% semillon gris.

Planted on sandy soils by the Franschhoek tasting room. Fermented in old oak and aged for just under two years in new and old French oak.

A rare find at this pice point, a complex and textural white Bordeaux blend; chamomile, grapefruit and greengages greet you on the nose.. Lilac and bergamot, developing on to the palate finishing with pineapple, honeydew melon with some herbaceous notes and a racy oyster shell acidity on the finish. Like a great Bordeaux Blanc from Graves, this will benefit from a little time in bottle, and will surely develop beautifully in the next few years, taking on more weight and those sought after notes of lanolin and baked apples.
