Dalkeith is a boutique label within the Jackson Family Wines stable, which also owns Capensis. Winemaking is overseen by Mario Damon, trusted lieutenant of the highly experienced Graham Weerts.
The grapes for the Kalmoesfontein Chenin Blanc 2024 are grown by Adi Badenhorst on his Swartland property of the same name. Fermentation was inoculated in tank, followed by nine months’ maturation in a combination of older oak and clay vessels.
The nose shows soft citrus and stone fruit, with notes of ginger and earth. The palate is rich and rounded (alcohol 13.9%), countered by tangy acidity and finishing dry with a faint, appealing bitterness. Well balanced and full of flavour. Price: R295 a bottle.
CE’s rating: 93/100.
