Sijnn White 2022

R492.00

Region: Malgas

Tasting note:

“A precious colour of gold. Focused minerality and zest with hints of peach, apricot and bruised yellow apple. Subtle mandarin, orange peel and a touch of salinity on the palate, followed by a very fine acidity. Lovely peach pith, apricots and nuttiness. It is rather textured and expresses a beautiful balance of minerals and dried fruit. The textured palate Is complimented by a richer fuller component which over time really balances out beautifully.” – Winemaker

This beautiful pioneering wine estate in the middle of nowhere at the end of a long, dusty, bumpy road at the Southern tip of Africa, is owned by Stellenbosch vintner David Trafford, wife Rita and partner Simon Farr. The word ‘sijnn’ (pronounced ‘sane’)  is derived from the Khoisan word meaning riverbank.
Sijnn is a true unicorn within the Cape Winelands. Located in Malgas, it was the first growth appellation in the entire region. 15km from the sea, the maritime climate is warm, but not too hot, moderated by southerly winds off the ocean late morning just about every day, especially in summer. Due to the low vigour and low yields from the poor soils and dry climate, all the vines are grown as bush vines, in a natural way adapting to their environment with gentle help from the human hand.
Today Sijnn Wines has become well known for their interesting and bold choices of cultivars and award-winning blends.
Blend: Chenin Blanc 81% , Viognier 9% , Verdelho 5% & Roussanne 5%
