Picquet Chenin '20 Bot River Racy minerality and crisp appleFrancois Haasbroek of Blackwater Wines releases wine only when he deems them ready to drink, and not a minute before. Picquet 2020, his flagship Chenin from a vineyard planted in the 80's on the steep slopes of Piket Bo Berg, spent 13 months in barrel and 4 years in bottle before he decided it was good enough. And boy, we're glad he did, because this cool climate Swartland Chenin tastes like crisp pears, juicy white peaches, and chamomile tea.
