Secure your half-bottle (375ml) of Donkiesbaai Hooiwijn (Straw Wine). This luxurious dessert wine is a testament to the concentrated power of Chenin Blanc. It hails from the high-altitude, dry-farmed vineyards of Piekenierskloof. The Engelbrecht family crafts this wine using the traditional passito method. This process intensifies the fruit, resulting in a complex, sweet nectar.
Critics praise the wine for its luscious sweetness and lifting acidity. They note the excellent balance that prevents it from feeling heavy or syrupy. This Hooiwijn is celebrated for its purity of concentrated fruit flavor.
Donkiesbaai Hooiwijn displays a luminous, pale gold color. The expressive bouquet offers aromas of dried apricots, mango, and honeycomb. Subtle hints of nutmeg and clove add complexity to the pure fruit. The palate is silky and sweet, revealing flavors of glazed apricots, candied citrus, and a touch of fresh ginger. Its well-integrated acidity ensures a clean, fresh finish.
