The 2025 Skerpioen is Chenin Blanc and Palomino planted on aeolian sand on limestone, picked on the same days as they are complanté. It is tightly wound on the nose and unfurls almost reluctantly, with hints of orange blossom and wax resin, grilled walnut and a touch of sea spray. Fine delineation. The palate is beautifully balanced, quite tangy on the entry, with a silver thread of acidity and notes of lime, bitter lemon and orange rind on the prolonged finish. Just so…more-ish. (Drink between 2028-2044)
