Vintage Overview
The 2024 vintage was shaped by a long, cold, and wet 2023 winter – ideal conditions for even budbreak and steady canopy growth across the vineyards. Moderate spring and summer temperatures allowed for slow, even ripening, and resulted in wines of precision and restraint. The 2024 Baviaan is a vibrant, textured 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.
