The white wine Palladius, vintage 2008 from the winery The Sadie Family has been rated in 2010 with 94 Falstaff points. It is a wine made from the grape varieties Chenin Blanc, Garnacha Blanca, Clairette Blanc, Viognier, Verdelho, Marsanne, Roussanne, Sémillon from the region Swartland in South Africa.
Green-yellow in colour. Citrus zest, peach, mango and a fine herbal savouriness on the nose, with some nutty brioche and mineral notes too. The palate is rich and multi-layered with a core of apricot backed by a racy acidity structure. It lingers for a very long time, with lemony nuances to the salty finish. Certain ageing potential.
