The Vineyard Party I'm Your Huckleberry 2020 Bottle size: 750ml
South Africa, Constantia
R265
‘100% skin contact for 15 days, maturation lasting 10 months in older oak. Top notes of floral perfume, hay, ginger and other spice precede citrus, stone fruit and some waxiness. Concentrated fruit, snappy acidity, the finish slightly grippy and deeply savoury. Lots going on and completely delicious.’ – Christian Eedes, Winemag.co.za, 94/100
‘The 2020 I'm Your Huckleberry is much more backward on the nose compared to the previous vintage, opening gradually in the glass. Yellow plum, touches of ginger and a subtle flor-like scent. The palate is well balanced with a tangy opening, touches of orange rind and allspice, though I feel that the 2019 has more complexity on the finish. Fine. 2023-2030’ – Neal Martin, Vinous

| Producer information | The Vineyard Party is a new project, now launching with two small-batch Sémillon bottlings from the maiden 2018 vintage. The goal here is to source biodiverse, sustainably farmed vineyard parcels, whilst working with avant-garde vinification techniques, and applying low intervention in the cellar. Behind the range is Jolette Steyn, a Young Gun independent. She has produced wine across four continents with 15 harvests under her belt, and before going solo, held winemaking roles at prominent SA estates over the past decade and a half. She holds a BSc degree in Oenology and Viticulture from Stellenbosch University, as well as an MSc in Oenology with stints in France, Italy and Spain completing her thesis in viticulture on Garnacha vineyards in Priorat, Spain. She has built an entire career on the self-proclaimed fact of being a wine geek and is deeply passionate about diversity and sustainability – in the soil, the vineyards, the people and the cellar. |
