Keermont Terrasse White Blend 2022 Bottle size: 750ml
South Africa, Stellenbosch
R278
‘Named for farm’s terraced blocks where 6 white varieties are planted & blended according to vintage. Fragrant ups Chenin to 46% from 2021’s 36% , partnering Chardonnay, Sauvignon, Roussanne, Marsanne & Viognier, year older oak. Abundant stonefruit, chiefly peach & pear, zippy lime-toned acid, minerality at the end.’ – Platter’s Guide 4*(94/100)
‘Consisting of 46% Chenin Blanc, 20% Chardonnay, 14% Sauvignon Blanc, 10% Roussanne, 8% Viognier and 2% Marsanne, the nose shows peach, lemon and orange plus hints of fynbos, earth, spice and yeasty complexity. On the palate, concentrated fruit, punchy acidity and a deeply savoury finish. Nice weight – not too heavy, not too light – while there’s some light grip to the finish. Flavourful and as suggested above, great quality relative to price. Alv: 13.5%.’ – Christian Eedes, Winemag.co.za, 94/100
‘The 2022 Terrasse comes from the estate, using indigenous yeast with 12 months in mostly 500-liter French oak barrels. The varieties complement each other nicely here, the Chenin in the driving seat: honeysuckle, orange pith, popcorn and light almond scents. The palate is vivacious on the entry, taut and linear, a "vertical" white Stellenbosch white with an edgy, waxy-textured sapid finish that beckons you back for another sip. Excellent. 2024-2034’ – Neal Martin, Vinous, 93/100

| 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. |
