Usana, The Runaway Pinot Gris 2022 – R 140
This vintage has not been rated yet, see 2021 tasting notes:
'The wine is nice and fresh with hints of Granny Smith apple some pear and white peach. The lees contact adds lovely texture and weight to the palate. It has good depth and Pinot Gris is very versatile with food. Paired well with seafood, pasta or vegetarian dishes. Be adventurous and add some spice.' – Winemaker
Intellego, Elementis 2022 – R 300
‘From an Abbotsdale vineyard planted in 1988 on alluvial soils. Fermented on the skins for 14 days before being matured in old 500-litre French oak barrels for 10 months. Very fragrant with note of potpourri, orange, peach and spice. The palate of this vintage has an intriguing structure being quite dense but not overly tannic, the acidity moderate. Perhaps not quite as arresting as usual but still full of flavour. Alc: 12%.’ – Christian Eedes, Winemag.co.za, 94/100
Testalonga, El Bandito Skin 2023 – R 360
‘Grapes from a Paardeberg vineyard planted in 1972 on granite. Two weeks of skin contact. Aromatics are more restrained than Stay Brave with notes of peach, orange and spice. The palate is tightly wound with dense fruit and a savoury, lightly grippy finish. A wine of undeniable presence despite its subtlety. Alc: 11.34%.’ – Christian Eedes, Winemag.co.za, 95/100
