Experience the pure, stripped-back elegance of The Blacksmith Barebones Colombar 2022. This wine highlights the raw potential of South African Colombar through minimal intervention. Winemaker Tremayne Smith sources 100% Colombar from dry-land farmed bush vines and trellised vineyards at Uitkijk and Lanquedoc. The 2022 vintage showcases a focused, energetic profile with a distinctively lean “skeletal” structure.
You will notice expressive aromas of honeysuckle, yellow apples, and beeswax on the nose. The palate offers a textural weight with a smooth mouthfeel and balanced acidity. Bright notes of lemon verbena and Granny Smith apple lead into a plush, bone-dry finish. This limited production of only 640 cases ensures a truly boutique experience for every bottle.
