De Grendel Durbanville Winifred 2009 89 Points


Clear, day bright, pale straw with green reflections, medium concentration and medium plus viscosity, no gas.

Clean, medium plus intensity, citrus, tangerine skin and blossom, lime medley, white pears, nectarines, and hints of jasmine, sandy minerality toasty but not overpowering , delicate oaking overall.

Dry, medium plus acidity, medium alcohol, new flavours of ripe lemon, meringue and creamy mealy note, texture with a complex mid palate, precise overall, medium plus lenght and medium plus complexity, pithy, need time for "grippy" structure to blend.

Blend of 26 % Chardonnay, 30 % Viognier and 44% Semillon, 100 % Durbanville wards grown, Winifred since maiden release just get better and better and it's one of the best priced white blends out there with quality to support.

Great food wine, served at 12 degrees celsius and paired with Tiger prawn Kalahari truffle risotto and Klein River mature gruyere shavings.

From 2012 until 2019 if cellared under optimum conditions.
