Brookdale Sixteen Field Blend 2023 Bottle size: 750ml
South Africa, Paarl
R425
'Fragrant & detailed 2023 a mosaic of aromas & flavours from 16 interplanted white bushvine varieties, harvested in 2 stages to address different ripening dates, spontaneously fermented/year on lees in concrete 'egg' & clay amphora. Palate richness lifted by gentle pithy nudge of tannin. 375 ml, 1.5L & 3L also available.' – Platter's Guide, 5* (95/100)
'Kiara Scott's stylish blend combines fourteen white Mediterranean varieties with Chardonnay and Chenin Blanc. Fermented and aged in clay amphoras and concrete eggs, it has aromas of honeysuckle and wild herbs and a palate of peach, pear and citrus supported by palate-cleansing acidity. 2024-30' – Tim Atkin MW, SA Special Report 2024, 93/100
‘Kaleidoscopic burst of lifted, diaphanous florals; jasmine, orange blossom, sun-drenched hay. Complex yet so fresh; green apples flow in, white pear, simmering in light. There’s wet stone, a granite dusting, leading to a palate sculpted by an electric current of acidity. Stone fruit coalesces in this energetic structure, peaches and cream, winter melon and lime drops. Tangy and long, quinine and pink grapefruit follow the salt trail to the finish.’ – Winemaker

| Producer information | Nestled in the corner of the majestic Du Toitskloof Pass, the Brookdale Estate vineyards are exposed to strong winds that reduce the crop but offer much-needed cooling in Paarl’s warm climate. It’s the perfect recipe for producing wines of real character. Brookdale extends over 80 hectares with 27 planted to vine and the remainder left to revert to its natural habitat. The historic estate has been lovingly restored by the Rudd family, with the Manor House rebuilt and the vineyards rejuvenated and replanted. Bird and animal life are rich and abundant. Every season brings different moods, different hues and different lives. |
