Patatsfontein is a winemaking venture formed by Reenen Borman of Boschkloof, fund manager Henk Kotze and Fritz Schoon,‘Master’ baker of Schoon De Companje in Stellenbosch. Reenen’s accomplished hand and ever-increasing skills are especially impressive considering his young age. The 2014 Steen was Tim Atkin’s White Wine Discovery of the Year and changed the status quo of what can be achieved in a region essentially known for sweet Muscadel.
After the success of the Patatsfontein Steen, they introduced a second wine to the label; originally Patatsblanc, the Patatsfontein WIT VERSNIT is a blend of Colombard and Chenin from the very same site, with Colombard welcoming peach and pear to the party.
Both wines are aged in a combination of old oak barrels and concrete for ten months.
Blend: Colombard and Chenin Blanc.
