Stark-Conde Field Blend White 2021

5 Stars 2023 Platter’s South African Wine Guide

Harmonious, generous & textured expression of low-lying riverside vineyard. 21 (95 pts) mostly roussanne & chenin (41/38), dashes viognier & verdelho co-fermented in oak, 5% new, & concrete egg. Captivating aromas of white flower, white peach & Golden Delicious apple, full & rounded, with spiced pear note on the finish. Pretty irresistible, but save some for later.

95 pts –  Gold Medal 2022 Decanter World Wine Awards

An elegant white that has chalky freshness and an Old-World-like dry and delicate complexity. A complex white fruit and white flower aroma leads to savoury thatch and spice. The tangy, crunchy, and bright palate has lemon, white pears, and a real savoury delicacy.

91 pts Wine Advocate July 2023

Made from a blend of Roussanne, Chenin Blanc, Viognier and Verdelho, the 2021 The Field Blend is fresh, ripe and bright on the nose with a juicy and floral essence in the glass. Medium to full-bodied, the white blend offers delicate mineral tension with a kiss of phenolic bitterness before exposing flavors of white peach, wax melon and citrus blossoms. The wine continues to reveal layers of complexity over the lingering and fresh finish. It’s a delightful wine that will pair beautifully with a wide variety of dishes. Give it a try. 2023-2028
