Sakkie Mouton
Vloedvlak Colombar
Western Cape, South Africa
Another Sakkie masterpiece, unfortunately the yield 2024 did not succeed due to flooding of the vineyard. Yes, flooding!
This 2023 is great. A slight unusual variety Colombard, which is often used for fortified Brandy but has a great character itself. On the nose: quince, pear, some yellow fruit and flowers and a slight hint of oyster. This wine is focused with great acidity, mouthfeel and hints of that quince, slight floral notes and a saline finish which reminds me of oyster shells. Great wine, especially with grilled prawns!
