David & Nadia are two new age winemakers who are making waves across the world. Pretty impressive considering the (very) small volumes they make, each bottle as pristine as the next. This is one of my favourite wines. Period. It's incredibly nuanced, and not in a way that is at all unapproachable- just complete and bursting with character. Not only do David & Nadia produce incredible wines, they follow organic and ecological farming practises and minimal intervention in the winery, which ensures their wines reflect their land. Spending a year in old oak, this chenin blanc is complex, well-structured and displays fleshy deliciousness with each sip. With a fresh palate of tropical fruits, citrus and all spice, this white beauty has a long and minerally finish. 

Named after Franco Louren's wife Lindi, this white blend of chenin, verdelho and grenache blanc, is all hand harvested, fermented separately, and then sent to large format French oak for nine months. The nose elicits aromas of pear, nectarine, orange and lemon, along with a bit of herbal tones and flintiness. The citrus-driven palate has a creamy texture, a feel of wet stone and fine acidity on the finish. This is a prime example of why South Africa is so renowned for its white blends.
