Description
The Palladius matures in these vessels for 12 months and is then racked off
into big old foudres for an additional 12 months ageing prior to bottling. After two years
the wine is bottled unfined and unfiltered.
NOTES | Over the past 7 years Palladius has been the wine that grew the most in
quality and refinement and much of this has to do with the addition of more vineyards
and the improvement of their viticulture. Currently of all our wines, the Palladius, with
17 vineyards, obviously represents the biggest canvas of the Swartland.
Last year, we highlighted the coming-of-age journey of Palladius over the past 25 years.
This 2024 vintage again displays very fresh lemon-zest and nectarine characteristics, with
some suppressed grapefruit aromas, all coated in salinity. The wine is restrained and elegant
throughout, yet it holds massive weight and length.
Steel if you need to, but get to taste this wine, it speaks volumes of the Swartland and its
magnificence.
As always, it is suggested to age this wine for a minimum of 4 – 6 years.
