Keermont Fleurfontein 2022 Bottle size: 750ml
South Africa, Stellenbosch
R640
'Named for farm's water source, vine-dried dessert wine is 100% sauvignon in 2023 (5 stars, 95 pts). White citrus & peachy stonefruit fragrances, variety's crisp acid whips through 215 g/L sugar, balances honeyed apple & salted caramel richness. More vinous (12.5% alc vs 10%) than also-tasted 2022, which has portion roussanne. 375 ml for both.' – Platter's Guide, 5* (93/100)
‘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

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. |
