2014 Edgebaston David Finlayson Camino Africana Chenin Blanc (750ml) x 6 bottles - Provenance: Restaurant Mosaic Wine Cellar Collection
This is reportedly the second oldest recorded vineyard of Chenin Blanc in South Africa, planted in 1947 on Kaapzicht appears to be something quite special. The wine was made with the absolute minimum intervention and to allow the old vines to express the true flavours of the site and variety with as gentle a human touch as possible. The wine has an unmistakable minerality and the salty, umami flavor on the palate that can only be found when vines have struggled for decades to make their mark in the soil. Camino Africano means the African Way. Following the road less traveled to discover unique wines that evoke a true, special sense of place. This bottle is the result of my journey along that way, one on which I gladly invite others to follow in the hope that it will be as rewarding as it was for me. - David Finlayson. All grapes were hand picked from bushvines planted in 1947.Pressed whole bunch and then fermented with natural yeast in 2 new French oak barrels. Sulphured after primary fermentation to prevent malolactic fermentation, followed by 11 months maturation on the lees. Platter Guide 4.5* Tim Atkin, MW 93/100
