{"product_id":"2023-david-nadia-plat-bos-chenin-blanc","title":"2023 David \u0026 Nadia Plat-bos Chenin Blanc","description":"\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eDavid and Nadia Sadie have quietly become one of the Swartland's most important small producers since establishing their label in 2014. David trained in Stellenbosch before stints in Marlborough and St. Emilion, while Nadia manages the viticulture side with a biological, no-herbicide approach that's moving steadily toward full organic certification. Their shared philosophy is straightforward: pick early, stay out of the way, let granite terroir do what it does best.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003ePlat-bos is one of their single-vineyard Chenin Blancs, and arguably the most austere of the range. The name translates literally from Afrikaans as low bush, a reference to the traditional bush vine training of the Swartland. The vineyard sits on the Paardebosch farm on the Paardeberg, planted in 1981 on decomposed granite soils with a north-facing aspect that makes it consistently the warmest of their sites. The Old Vine Project certified vines are harvested in three separate passes through early February, each fermented and aged independently before blending.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eNo oak, no fining, no filtration. Bone dry at 11% alcohol. The approach in the cellar is exactly as hands-off as it is in the vineyard, the whole point being to bottle the site as faithfully as possible.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eWhat comes through is a wine of remarkable tension and precision. Saline, mineral, and tightly wound, with the kind of linear, acid-driven freshness David describes as central to working with warm granite sites. It's not an immediately generous wine, and it's not meant to be. Serious Chenin for patient drinkers.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"David \u0026 Nadia","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45281058684971,"sku":"2023 David \u0026 Nadia Plat-bos Chenin Blanc","price":179.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2572\/9722\/files\/2023David_NadiaPlat-bosCheninBlanc.png?v=1788756302","url":"https:\/\/www.differentdrop.com\/products\/2023-david-nadia-plat-bos-chenin-blanc","provider":"Different Drop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
