2008 Bizoe Henrietta 80+ Points


Maiden release of this limited production of only 2700 bottles.

Western Cape of Origin, wooded blend of Semillon and Sauvignon Blanc.

Clear, pale straw, day bright, medium concentration, low plus viscosity.

Clean, fresh, primary fruit of green fig, citrus and green lemon, with interesting notes of white pebbles mineral, well supported by the vanillin French oak character.


Dry, low acidity, low plus alcohol, only 12.5 low complexity, shows the weaknesses of the vintage in terms of fruit definition and concentration, fine structure, but short on finish, the Semillon component may gain weight with time.


It would have been interesting to see how this wine would have fared, if it was made in a more, less rainy classic vintage?

There is potential here, and indeed a boutique Cape Bordeaux white blends, to watch.
