Kruger Family Wines Old Vines Palomino 2020 Bottle size: 750ml
South Africa, Olifants River
R225
‘The nose shows subtle notes of citrus, green apple, herbs, flowers and talcum powder while the palate is lean and fresh with a salty finish (alcohol is 12%). It’s intricate and energetic and wonderfully refreshing to drink.’ – Christiaan Eedes, Winemag, 93/100
‘Palomino can be a relatively neutral grape, but in the right place - Piekenierskloof in this instance - it often overdelivers. Beeswax, brown toast and lemongrass flavours are complemented by a hint of oak and some added structure from partial skin contact. 2021-25’ – Tim Atkin MW, SA Special Report 2021, 92/100
‘From 46 year old parcel. Textural focus on deep-pile, cushioned feel, contrasted by fresh and savory grip ex few days’ skin contact. Salty-Edge conclusion distinctive imprint. Versatile food partner. Natural fermented, older oak.’ – Kruger Family Wines
