Dorrance Kama Chenin Blanc 2014

Swartland, Coastal Region, South AfricaFrom the first urban winery in South Africa, Dorrance is a project from Normandy's Christophe and Sabrina Durand set up in Cape Town's Heritage Square. They source grapes from across the Cape for their wines. Kama was grown on a single vineyard of decomposed granite soils, dry-farmed and 40 years of age. 70 percent was matured in concrete eggs with the remainder in older French oak barrels. Earthy with wild meadow herbs, white peach, heady concentration and a complex, spicy palate with texted mineral undertones and a firm but well placed bracket of oak. Power and restraint in youth.Tasted: 25 May 2017Tasted by: Treve RingPrices:
