De laatste jaren “verfijnde” Palladius zich. Elf cépages (Chenin Blanc, Grenache Blanc, Marsanne, Clairette Blanche, Viognier, Verdelho, Roussanne, Sémillon Gris, Sémillon Blanc, Colombard en Palomino) afkomstig van 17 verschillende percelen vormen het lappendeken achter Palladius. Zonnige cépages (Viognier en Marsanne) worden ingetoomd door de meer etherische varianten (Palomino en Clairette). Het resultaat: breedte, finesse en complexiteit. Palladius krijgt geen eik meer te zien, met een élevage in amfoor én eivormige cementcuve. Eben Sadie Throughout the picking of this 2019 it was amazing how well the 17 pieces of the puzzle that make up this wine just perfectly fell into place - and so effortlessly. The vineyards ripened in perfect order and in perfect ratio to one another. The 2019 Palladius probably displays the most complex of aromas: not only is the wine very fresh, with a bright green edge apple fruit, but it then goes into stone fruit and exit with the tropical aromatics. The advantage is that across the spectrum we managed to capture a greater acidity than with the 2018, but with more volume and texture. The mouthfeel and equilibrium of this vintage is unmatched in any of our other whites. In many vintages the Mev. Kirsten poses the same depth and volume, but in this vintage Palladius surpasses all others. The composure of this wine is an absolutely singular aspect and it will benefit much from proper ageing. IN DE PERS 95 Anthony Mueller - robertparker.com (Juni 2022) Delivering aromas of lemon oil, raw honeycomb, wax melon and underripe peach skin, the 2019 Palladius is gorgeous on the nose, with a delightful floral lift and dusty nuance. Medium-bodied on the palate, the wine offers notions of dusty honeysuckle, underripe peach skin and citrus blossom along with lovely mineral tension and a kiss of phenolic bitterness. This will remain food-friendly until its 20th birthday. Every time I try these wines, they never seem to fail to deliver pleasure. Absolutely stunning! Drink 2022-2045.
