About this Item
El Bandito Skin Contact Chenin Blanc 2016
6 (1 x 6) 750ml
Winemakers tasting note: 'The 2016 Skin contact is our proudest wine, being the first wine we bottled and made in 2008. The wine has come a long way and each year provides us with new flavours. We have toned down on the extraction and have now stopped experimenting as much as we used to. We have found our sweet spot that we enjoy for Skin Macerated whites and enjoy the balance we get from these flavours. This was the shortest skin contact that we have ever given to this wine and we really feel the wine is now developing into something that is entirely on its own.'

Critics Ratings
'From a 1972 Chenin Blanc vineyard. Period on skins reduced to 10 days due to the nature of the vintage. An enticing nose of flowers before citrus and yellow peach before base notes of earth and spice. Intensely flavoured but still refreshing and more-ish. Lovely balance and great length. Some grip in the best sense.' - Christian Eedes, Winemag.co.za, 94/100 (Nov 2016)
