The “New Baby” is a treasured white blend from Beaumont, representing their oldest white cultivars. The 2022 vintage is a masterful assembly of Chenin Blanc, Sauvignon Blanc, and Colombar. This release is particularly notable as it’s the first vintage without Chardonnay in the blend, allowing the other components to truly shine.
On the nose, expect a complex bouquet of pear, stone fruit, and a subtle hint of honey. The palate is characterized by a beautiful balance of vibrant acidity and a rich, creamy texture, with flavors of ripe apricot and citrus. The wine’s impressive structure and precise, mineral-driven finish are a testament to the old vines and the unique Bot River terroir. Matured in French oak, this wine is both incredibly expressive now and possesses the capacity to evolve gracefully for many years.
