The profoundest facet of wine, beyond its flavour, is when and where it can be utterly unique – otherwise all the wine in the world might as well come from a single factory in France (or Taiwan). Angus Paul Wines looks to identify that which makes South Africa unique; combining its old rocks, atavistic gees and quasi-indigenous varietals to produce wines that could only come from the windy Cape. Chenin blanc and Pinotage take the lead roles in the winery – along with a small but genuine supporting cast of other grapes – where they are left untampered to bear the transcription of the sunshine, soil and soul of the Western Cape.
Angus Paul Barbary Fictions Chenin Blanc 2023
R405.00
Region: Bottlery
Tasting note:
“The nose is rich in lemongrass, cut apple and yellow citrus. It has more of a deeper, heavier rumble than the high pitch of the Chenins that come from the other side of the Bottelary hill formation (those that face False Bay). The palate is crunchy like biting into an apple. Despite this, it is a round wine, with the freshness and breadth tugging each other in equal balanced directions.” – Winemaker
