Scions of Sinai ‘Señor Tallos’ 2023

R245.00

WO Coastal Region

Skin macerated white wine
51% Chenin Blanc (Stellenbosch)
49% Grenache Blanc (Voor Paardeberg)

Christian Eedes (Winemag): “50% destemmed and 50% whole-bunch. Three weeks of skin contact before maturation lasting eight months in older barrels as well as tank, under flor. Nutty, rancio notes to go with tangerine, stone fruit and spice on the nose while the palate has a dense core of fruit and firm but not overly astringent tannins, the finish bone-dry. Unconventional and intriguing – that much better balanced and substantial than the previous vintage.
94/100.”

Bernhard Bredell grew up in a wine farming family, on their (previously owned) farm, Helderzicht, in the Lower Helderberg region of Stellenbosch. The Bredells had been farming wine here for over 160 years – 7 generations – and had essentially been responsible for developing the region. It started with Peter Bredell’s arrival in the 1850’s and passed down to his descendants, a.k.a. “Scions”.

Scions of Sinai Wines mainly focuses on curating these uniquely located vineyards of the Lower Helderberg region (southeast of Stellenbosch) around a granite hill colloquially known as “Sinai Hill” – pure wines from a few specially selected dry farmed bushvine vineyards on decomposed granite. Bernard favours a chemical-free approach in the vineyards and the winery.

Bernhard Bredell was named Young Winemaker of the Year in the Tim Atkin South Africa Special Report 2019.
