2013 Catherine Marshall Wines Amatra Chenin Blanc (750ml) x 2 bottles - Provenance: Restaurant Mosaic Wine Cellar Collection
Founded by recognised winemaker Cathy Marshall in 1997, the Barefoot Wine Company was one of the first true ‘boutique/micro-wineries’ in the Western Cape, establishing a then ground-breaking, alternative approach, characterised by the use of a low-tech, but meticulous hands-on methodology which set the trend for the burgeoning garagiste movement. Thanks to Cathy’s tireless efforts, the company grew from humble beginnings (with a handful of friends and family gathering at harvest-time to press the grapes barefoot) to become an institution – inspiring hundreds of enthusiastic participants to attend the annual BWC foot-stomps! Her prowess has earned her a well-founded reputation for excellence. Since those early days, she has travelled the globe to hone her winemaking skills and is particularly proud of all her wines, especially her Pinot Noir – the change of name from the Barefoot Wine Co to Catherine Marshall Wines just says it all! The 2013 was 60% tank fermented and 40% barrel fermented but features more malolactic fermentation than the maiden 2012 vintage and includes a tiny portion of Semillon. If you adore nutty, savoury cheeses, this is the wine you'll want to sip alongside them. "Roasted hazelnuts and baked apple compote push away the reduction on the nose. Pithy pear spice and smoky richness make this a mouthful of pleasure which lasts." and 91/100 from Decanter panel.
