merging with a gentle smattering of earth and autumn leaves that float you through the finish

The finish is brisk and fresh

Tasted blind at Farr Vintners’ 2009 Bordeaux tasting

balanced and stony finale where a hint of bitter lemon adds a hint of austerity

Sadie Family, Swartland Skerpioen other_regions merging with a gentle smatteringThe 2020 Old Vine Series Skerpioen walks the fine line of mineral and citrus, possessing a kiss of sea spray before notions of wax melon, yellow apple skin and sweet Meyer lemon sway on the nose. Medium bodied on the palate, a slight tinge of fresh herbs makes way for mouthwatering succulent acidity, followed by a kiss of phenolic bitterness and a soft leesy quality over the persistent, almost salty finish. I really enjoy the action on the palate.
