Vintage Overview
The 2026 vintage was marked by a cool and wet winter, providing good soil moisture and even budbreak across the vineyards. Mild spring conditions and moderate summer temperatures allowed for slow, steady ripening, resulting in excellent fruit concentration, natural acidity and vibrant flavour. The 2026 Baviaan is an expressive white blend that reflects both terroir and careful cellar work.
Winemaking Notes
Each varietal was vinified separately in old French oak barrels and blended after 9 months on lees. No malolactic fermentation was encouraged in order to preserve acidity and freshness. Bottled unfiltered to retain natural character.
Tasting Notes
Aromatic layers of white peach, jasmine, and orange blossom unfold on the nose. The palate is textured and balanced with bright acidity, citrus zest, and a saline edge leading to a long, mineral finish.
