It's fabulous as an aperitif now but it will also develop well into old age as a gastronomic wine with delicate seafood dishes

This is quite firm and will need extended patience

a little tough in the middle

The wine is refined

campfire embers

Sadie Family, Swartland Skerpioen other_regions It's fabulous as an aperitifThe 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.
