Review Detail
2022 Sidewood Mappinga Pinot Blanc
Wine Rating
95
There were only 220 dozen of this wine produced, whole bunch pressed and fermented with wild yeast before being aged in old, large oak for 6 months prior to bottling. The nose has citrus and grapefruit pith that is tempered by some faint mealy tones from time on lees; the palate reveals the most complex and interesting example of the variety i have tried to date, there is savoury texture yet piercing passionfruit that is etched with mandarin and citrus zest. The finish has a mineral drive with lingering mandarin and touch of quince like bitterness. Exceptional.
