Daschbosch Mossiesdrift Steen 2021
Breedekloof, Breede River Valley, South AfricaFrom a 58-year-old vineyard in Breedekloof comes a fine example of old vine chenin made by one of the leading producers in the region. Breedekloof is on the eastern border of Paarl, and the vines grown at the Mossiesdrift farm are registered as part of South Africa's Old Vine Project. Hand picked, destemmed, and crushed, they go through a cold soak and long slow cool fermentation in old neutral oak, mixing commercial and wild yeast before being left on its considerable lees for six months and barrel matured for eight months. The palate is an elegant expression of chenin with exploding ripe lemon and a load of minerality in the form of wet stones, finishing with a light dusting of spice. Impressive, vibrant, and totally, old vine, it is the real thing. West Coast seafood is the match.Tasted: 01 July 2022Tasted by: Anthony GismondiPrices:| BC | $29.99 | 750ml | BCL stores |
