{"product_id":"david-nadia-skaliekop-afrique-du-sud","title":"David \u0026 Nadia - Skaliekop - 2022","description":"\u003cp\u003eOriginating from the limestone hills of the Swartland region, north of Cape Town, this wine primarily comes from the Skaliekop vineyard, an exposed and wind-swept site. The soils there are composed of decomposed shale and limestone-rich rocks, imparting a distinct mineral tension to the wine. The vines, cultivated using practices that respect natural balance, benefit from a Mediterranean climate tempered by the proximity of the Atlantic Ocean, which promotes slow maturation and a beautiful aromatic freshness.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMade from old Chenin Blanc vines planted on decomposed shale soils, this wine is hand-harvested, carefully sorted, then whole-bunch pressed. The must is transferred by gravity into French oak barrels of various ages, where fermentations occur spontaneously thanks to indigenous yeasts. Aging continues on fine lees, without significant bâtonnage, in neutral barrels to preserve the purity of the terroir, before a low-intervention bottling, with moderate sulfiting and no other inputs.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis wine reveals notes of \u003cstrong\u003eripe citrus\u003c\/strong\u003e, \u003cstrong\u003efresh apple and pear\u003c\/strong\u003e, complemented by \u003cstrong\u003edelicate floral\u003c\/strong\u003e touches, a \u003cstrong\u003echalky mineral\u003c\/strong\u003e dimension, and subtle \u003cstrong\u003espicy\u003c\/strong\u003e nuances. The palate is precise, driven by a \u003cstrong\u003elively acidity\u003c\/strong\u003e and a \u003cstrong\u003echalky and saline\u003c\/strong\u003e texture, with a full mid-palate that is not heavy. The finish is \u003cstrong\u003elong\u003c\/strong\u003e, taut, and savory, marked by a persistent \u003cstrong\u003ecitrus\u003c\/strong\u003e and a delicate \u003cstrong\u003esaline\u003c\/strong\u003e imprint that calls for another glass.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Vin du Monde","offers":[{"title":"750ml","offer_id":57717610414428,"sku":null,"price":110.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0284\/0032\/0643\/files\/David_NadiaSkaliekop2019_1400x_a7de5adf-eab3-46de-a731-390d92eeccd4.jpg?v=1779544222","url":"https:\/\/www.lebaroudeurduvin.com\/en-si\/products\/david-nadia-skaliekop-south-africa","provider":"Le Baroudeur du Vin","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
