Tasting notes

A blend of 69% Chenin Blanc, 26% Semillon, 3% Muscat Frontignan and 2% Muscat of Alexandria, the nose of the 2016 Haarlem to Hope is mineral with pomaceous and tropical fruits with a subtle white spice. The palate shows yellow apples and pineapple with a fine powdery minerality. The finish is spicy, with good grip and good acidity. The wine is medium to full-bodied. To be honest, these crazy white blends initially tend to scare me. They can be very difficult to get right. Bruwer Raats and Gavin Bruwer Slabbert have pinned down this expression, and they got these varietals to play nicely together. Well done! 4,070 bottles were made.
