DESCRIPTION
A blend of 78% Chenin Blanc, 12% Semillon, and 10% Viognier, all sourced from the Polkadraai Hills in Stellenbosch, where granitic slopes and a warm Mediterranean climate deliver concentrated yet balanced fruit. Chenin Blanc was fermented and matured in stainless steel to retain purity and tension, while the Semillon and Viognier components matured for 12 months in 500L French oak, contributing texture and aromatic nuance. Residual Sugar 1.9 g/L. Bottled at 12.8%. (Bottle size 750ml)
TASTING NOTES
Nose: Expressive aromas of ripe pear, quince, and bright citrus, with Semillon offering gentle stone-fruit depth and Viognier adding subtle honeyed florals for complexity.
Palate: Crisp and lively, opening with fresh orchard and citrus fruit, moving into a creamy, subtly rounded mid-palate shaped by the oak-raised Semillon and Viognier.
Finish: A lingering, elegant finish driven by vibrant acidity, with fine textural weight providing balance and length.
Smokkelman is a collaboration between Solitary Wines and Sonn & Co made on the Karibib wine farm in the Polkadraai Hill just outside Stellenbosch. The type of wine you will not find in every retail store.
