Olindo Verdelho 2022
By Christian Eedes, 26 March 2024
Olindo Verdelho 2022 is an own-label wine from Jasper Raats of Longridge, the grapes from a Helderberg vineyard planted on decomposed granite and farming involving biodynamic practices.
The nose is subtle and intricate with notes of citrus, peach and even pineapple, as well as floral perfume, some waxiness, earth and spice while the palate is surprisingly rich and round given a moderate alcohol of 12.5%, although the wine also has a punchy acidity, a trademark character of this variety. Price: R290 a bottle.
CE’s rating: 93/100.
