Winemaker's Notes: Last year, we highlighted the coming-of-age journey of Palladius over the past 25 years. This 2024 vintage again displays very fresh lemon-zest and nectarine characteristics, with some suppressed grapefruit aromas, all coated in salinity. The wine is restrained and elegant throughout, yet it holds massive weight and length. Steal if you need to, but get to taste this wine, it speaks volumes of the Swartland and its magnificence.
