Baroness Nadine 2022, Western Cape, South Africa
£26.95 – £145.50 Buy This vintage offers ripe tropical fruits, fresh citrus notes, roasted hazelnut, macadamia, and citrus blossom . This is a wonderful wine with a core of ripe tropical fruit all held together by a luxurious yet well- judged streak of rich oak. Baroness Nadine is crafted in a different style compared to a few years back - the style is much more in keeping with fashion, and subsequently the use of new French oak has been toned down. Baroness Nadine 2022 is considered the best vintage produced at Rupert and Rothschild Vignerons, balancing racy acidity and creamy well balanced oak.
