Neal Martin, Vinous
The 2020 Nautical Dawn, from granite soils and vines planted in 1978 that undergoes a two month ferment, is aged in two _foudres_ for 12 months. Fragrant on the nose, this offers beguiling yellow plum, honeysuckle and peach skin scents. Very pure. The palate is well balanced with an assertive, spicy entry, wonderful depth and vibrancy with a layered pithy finish that lingers. Brilliant.
Nautical Dawn is a single origin Chenin blanc wine. Since its maiden vintage in 2017 it
has helped to showcase the raw talent of the False Bay coast of Stellenbosch - a vital
part of the Cape Chenin story. The wine has quite an extreme personality. Even with
early picking, this vineyard delivers huge flavour with intense concentration and ripping
natural acid.
