'Seductively delicious & elegant, 2021 follows form of chenin blend with verdelho, viognier & roussanne, whose delicate floral & aromatic strands lace the generous peach-apricot fruit.' – Platter's Wine Guide 2023, 94/100
‘Think of this as a Malgas take on Even Sadie's Palladius, albeit with fewer grape varieties in the mix. Chenin Blanc based with 19% Verdelho, Viognier and Roussanne, this is exotic yet focused, with peach, apricot and yellow apple flavours, subtle wood and a bright, tangy finish. 2022-27’ – Tim Atkin MW, SA Special Report 2022, 93/100
‘A precious colour of gold. Exotic, yet focused, with peach, apricot and yellow apple flavours. Subtle wood, and a bright tangy finish. Beautiful mandarin, orange saline threads on the palate, followed by a very fine acidity. Lovely peach pith, apricots and nuttiness. It is rather textured and expresses more minerality than fruit. A gentle honeysuckle and beeswax profile that lingers.’ – Winemaker

| Producer information | David Trafford's Sijnn project is based in Malgas along the Breede River. Forty kilometres away from any other vineyards, it's tremendously rocky soil and Breede River-influenced microclimate is unlike any other in South Africa. These unfiltered, unfined, real wines are made in tiny volumes and speak of Malgas' amazing terroir. |
