Keermont Fleurfontein 2022 Bottle size: 750ml
South Africa, Stellenbosch
R640
‘Yellow gold in colour, the Fleurfontein 2022 exudes aromas of dried apricot, litchi, and pineapple with hints of almond, vanilla and sweet spice. The palate is full and creamy with concentrated flavours of dried fruit, honey vanilla biscuit and a touch of grassy freshness. A central core of acidity gives the wine a long, complex, caramel finish. Drink now through to 2035.’ – Winemaker
This vintage has not been rated yet; see 2021 tasting notes:
‘The 2021 Fleurfontein was made using miniature pliers to pinch the stems to create this sweet wine. It has a subtle bouquet that needs some coaxing: acacia honey, chai, Clementine and light apricot scents, beautifully-defined as usual. The palate is well-balanced, with an irresistible viscous texture countered by a perfectly judged line of acidity. Wonderful tension and superb length; this has such purity and vivacity. Just four barrels made. Outstanding.’ – Neal Martin, Vinous, 96/100
‘Consistently among the Cape's sweet wine elite, this is an unusual blend of Sauvignon Blanc and 24% Roussanne. Naturally fermented in French and Hungarian oak, it has layers of passion fruit, pineapple and mango, intense 225 grams of residual sugar and a tangy, tarte tatin finish. The volatile acidity is commendably low for the style. 2024-30’ – Tim Atkin MW, SA Special Report 2023, 96/100
'Yellow gold in colour, the Fleurfontein 2021 exudes aromas of dried apricot, litchi and blueberry with hints of almond, vanilla and sweet spice. The palate is full and creamy with concentrated flavours of dried fruit, honey vanilla biscuit and a touch of grassy freshness. A central core of acidity gives the wine a long, complex, caramel finish. Drink now through to 2035.' – Winemaker

Producer information | Keermont must be SA’s most under-the-radar winery. Besides the wines being excellent and produced in minute quantities, we are astounded by the value they offer. Alongside Kanonkop, Delaire and Reyneke, Keermont is the only other Stellenbosch property to be counted among Tim Atkin’s 15 First Growths. Already recognised as a producer of benchmark Syrah, the estate is tucked away in the Upper Blaauwklippen Valley – an area of Syrah fame spanning Kleinood, Waterford and De Trafford. 'If you want to see the new South Africa and catch a glimpse of what the future beholds, then look no further than Keermont,’ says Neal Martin. |
