While his high-end bottles get all the trophies, this \"Wit Versnit\" is arguably his best-value play. It’s grown out in Montagu, a rugged, mountainous area where the limestone soils give the wines a completely different energy to the warmer coastal regions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 2024 is a blend of 55% Chenin Blanc and 45% Colombard, taken from the same property that produces their cult-status \"Steen.\" Colombard used to be the workhorse of the brandy industry, but here it adds an incredible, crunchy acidity and a pithy texture that makes the wine feel alive in the glass.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThey don't rush things in the cellar. The fruit was whole-bunch pressed and fermented naturally, then tucked away in a mix of old oak and concrete for 10 months. That time on the lees is the secret sauce; it gives the wine a lovely bit of weight and a \"wet stone\" mineral character that keeps it from being just another simple fruity white.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOn the nose, it’s really pretty - think orchard blossom, pear, and a bit of tropical guava. The palate is light but definitely not lean, with a focused, linear drive and a dry, saline finish that just screams for food. It’s clean, poised, and makes for a brilliant aperitif or a partner for a piece of grilled snapper.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Patatsfontein","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56142105149812,"sku":"hnx1789958403645","price":15.67,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1000\/5613\/8100\/files\/2024-patatsfontein-wit-versnit_1.webp?v=1789958405","url":"https:\/\/petcameramon.shop\/products\/2024-patatsfontein-wit-versnit","provider":"My Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
