Tasting Notes
The Johnathan’s Malbec from Le Pommier shows on the nose intense aromas of dark fruits such as ripe Plum, Black Cherry and Blackberry, accompanied by fine notes of Violet and a hint of dark Chocolate. On the palate it presents itself soft and approachable, with a juicy fruit sweetness, supple tannins and well-integrated acidity. Subtle hints of Vanilla and Cedarwood, which come from the Aged in the wooden barrel, give the wine additional depth. Overall it seems rounded, charming and very drinkable – a typical Malbec with South African elegance.
Grape Variety
Chenin Blanc is a widely cultivated, old white wine grape variety that has been grown in France (in Anjou – Touraine) since the 9th century. Compared to other white wine grape varieties, this variety is very productive. This leads to a very high quality of the white wine when reduced on the vine.
In South Africa, Chenin Blanc is the most widely grown white wine grape variety. The reason for this is primarily the very high diversity. For example, there are "wild-growing" vines (so-called Bush Vines) that are usually not irrigated. For this reason, the vines penetrate very deep into the ground with their roots to reach water. These Chenin Blancs therefore have a stronger depth and complexity.
The grape variety can also be aged very fresh and fruity in stainless steel tanks, developing into a very nice summer wine. Through the Aged in oak barrels, one obtains very complex and full-bodied white wines. The aromas of Chenin Blanc wines range from peach, apricot, and tropical fruits to honey and melon.
