{"product_id":"david-nadia-skaliekop","title":"David \u0026 Nadia Skaliekop","description":"\u003cp\u003eSkaliekop means \"slate hill\" – and it is precisely this weathered slate soil in the Swartland that gives this Chenin Blanc its unmistakable signature. David and Nadia Sadie are among South Africa's most distinguished winemakers and work with old, unirrigated bush vines that root in barren, nutrient-poor soils. These very conditions force the vines to produce low yields, which is reflected in the concentration and depth of the wine.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA multi-layered aroma profile unfolds in the glass: ripe pear and apricot meet beeswax, toffee, and vanilla, plus fine floral nuances that give the wine lightness. On the palate, it shows a dense, creamy texture with a lively acidity structure that holds everything together tightly. The finish is long, with a slightly salty, mineral aftertaste that recalls the slate soil from which the vines draw their nourishment.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eServe the wine at \u003cstrong\u003e10 to 12 degrees\u003c\/strong\u003e so that the layers of aroma can open up step by step. It pairs just as well with grilled kingklip or pan-fried scallops as it does with aged goat cheese or a curry with yellow curry paste. It is also worth a glass as a soloist for contemplating South African Chenin Blanc.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"David \u0026 Nadia","offers":[{"title":"2022","offer_id":53616660611408,"sku":"VJ3713-2022","price":81.5,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0896\/3509\/4864\/files\/66101318_2109.png?v=1789486471","url":"https:\/\/www.vinoscout.de\/en\/products\/david-nadia-skaliekop","provider":"Vinoscout","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
