HALF Rustenberg, Straw Wine, Coastal Region, 2019
(screwcap)
From 81.5% Chenin Blanc and 18.5% Viognier dried on straw in the Italian passito manner to concentrate juice and sugar. Very luscious (an amazing 226 grams of residual sugar per litre); honey-soaked raisins with excellent balancing acidity.
The straw wine has been a speciality at Rustenberg since Adi Badenhorst created this wine about 15 years ago, but we are told this is the last vintage of this sumptuous, great value sweetie. Now-2025
