Stark-Condé Field Blend Estate White 2020 Bottle size: 750ml
South Africa, Stellenbosch
R275
The Stark-Condé Field Blend Estate White 2020 was awarded the Trophy for Best Other White Blend (Gold 96/100) in the Old Mutual Trophy Wine Show 2021.
'This aromatic white blend is made from a single vineyard block which consists of 4 different grape varietals. The grapes were planted with the specific intention of creating this unique blend. Roussanne and Viognier add richness and texture, while Chenin Blanc and Verdelho add bright fruit and acidity. The wine is delicately oaked, and handled as carefully and naturally as possible.' – Winemaker
Tasting notes on the 2019 vintage:
'Chenin (42%) co-planted with roussanne, verdelho & viognier, picked in multiple passes then fermented together in combo older barrels & concrete ‘eggs’. Focused, poised 2019 has vibrant floral aromas, fresh citrus & stonefruit, long pithy finish.' – Platter's Guide, 4.5* (93/100)
'Picked five times to make sure that the co-planted cuvée of Chenin Blanc with 58% Roussanne, Verdelho and Viognier was just right, this is the most complete expression of the vineyard yet. Stone fruit flavours, subtle oak, some sap from 10% concrete and underlying zip and minerality. Drink 2020-24.' – Tim Atkin MW, SA Special Report 2020, 91/100
