Description
This white wine is a great pure 100% Chenin Blanc coming from a beautiful old vineyard (>40 years old) with a very low yield with enormous potential. In 2019, the well-known winemaker and vineyard specialist Elizma Visser (also the winemaker of Olifantsberg ) became heavily involved in both the vineyard and made the wine and Elizma's hand is clearly evident in the wine. Complex, longer lasting and above all letting nature take its course in a healthy old vineyard.
Elizma has used all her winemaking skills to make the most complex wine. That of course starts with great grapes, from 38-year-old vines. This Groot Parys Die Tweede Droom Lustig Chenin Blanc is a barrel selection, more wood influence and matured longer. No batonnage. After about 18 months of maturing, the wine has gone into the bottle and is now available to enjoy! In the glass, the Voluptuous Chenin Blanc has a sparkling golden yellow color with nose notes of melon, apricot, vanilla, cinnamon, hazelnut, spicy and white fruit. In the mouth it is sultry, full and juicy, with vanilla notes, dried fruit and remains present for a very long time. This wine is perfect for hearty, spicy dishes with white meat. Firm white fish, grilled or fried. Vegetablequiche. Lightly mature to mature cheese.

De Grote Hamersma: 9-/10
Groot Parys. In Nederlandse handen. Van het echtpaar Verhaak dat in 2002 besloot om nog wat extra kleur aan de Regenboognatie toe te voegen. En wat glans aan Paarl. Al een aantal jaren doende kortom. En hun chenin blanc hebben inmiddels goed onder de knie gekregen. Zonder ’m overigens te kniehalsteren.
Ik proefde al eerder 2013 en 2014. En onlangs ook met sommelier tevens De Grote Hamersma scribent Seuren hun meest recente 2019. ‘Rijp, comfortabel abrikozenfruit en sappige meloen met een vleugje limoen en krakende hazelnoten. Vettig maar niet te, eenvoudigweg lekker’ noteerde ik uit zijn mond. Inmiddels zijn we met Die Tweede Droom in 2020 aanbeland. En we dommelen rustig verder ofschoon de spiciness er dit jaar alles aan doet om de smaakpapillen wakker te schudden. Strakkere zuren bovendien. Meer pit, energieker. en meer inhoud. Zou het door die extra procent alcohol komen die ie ten opzichte van de 2019 noteert?
