Mother Rock ‘Paying the School Fees’ White 2024

R350.00

A 2nd-vintage estate blend. 14 months in 60% new Burgundian foudre, then 8 months in concrete. An incredibly elegant white blend.

“From own fruit. 40% Grenache Blanc, 25% Chardonnay, 14% Chenin Blanc, 11% Sauvignon Blanc, 5% Roussanne, 2.5% Marsanne and 2.5% Clairette. Matured for 14 months in oak (including a new foudre) before a further eight months in concrete. The nose is somewhat shy with faint notes of peach, citrus, winter melon and herbs. The palate is surprisingly substantial given an alcohol of just 12.87% – dense fruit, creamy texture, bright acidity and a savoury finish.” – Christian Eedes, Winemag.co.za

“Stompie Meyer says he wants to make “energetic, artisanal, fun and creative” wines and he’s succeeding admirably.”

— Christian Eedes, Winemag

From vintage 2020, Johan “Stompie” Meyer has made the wines in his cellar at the new home of Mother Rock Wines, Platteklip Farm on the Piketberg Mountain in northern Swartland.

These are natural wines, with organic farming a foundation of the project. In the cellar, Stompie keeps things very simple: no additions—often not even sulphur. He reliers on a combination of the quality of the vineyard, the farming, picking early, and his skill in the winery to produce expressive wines of honesty and heart at ridiculous value.

These wines are some of the edgiest and most delicious in South Africa today.

There are vineyards being planted on the new farm that will eventually be used for this label in years to come.
