Sequillo White 2014

The overall impression of the 2014 Sequillo White is seamlessness, since absolutely no aspect of the wine is standing loose, but everything is tightly woven and together. The acidity and mineral, slate aspect on the mouthfeel are even more prominent than it was in the 2013 and it just beams with the qualities of the granite soils of the Paardeberg. 2013 was great but 2014 is equal in measure and a great flight….
