Blaauwklippen Stellenbosch White Zinfandel 2009 83+ Points



One of it's kind and only bottling to date of a "White Zinfandel" in South Africa, showing pale bright, coppery hue with yellow reflections.

Clean, oxidative in style with slight fino sherry note like, moderate intensity with delicately ripe red fruits, citrus zest, hay, slight terpene note akind to a partially aged Riesling! nutty with old oak influence.

Dry, fresh and lively with medium plus acidity, textured nutty and honeyed mid palate, due to bottle age, leesy richness, good extract, moderate plus alcohol of 13.5%, savory, persistent, can still developed, interesting food wine, like the acidity structure! now until 2017
