Sakkie Mouton Revenge of the Crayfish, Koekenaap 2025
White Wine from South Africa - Coastal Region
The brilliantly named 'Revenge of the Crayfish' is Sakkie Mouton's flagship white wine from the rarely seen Koekenaap region, right up on the West Coast (or 'Weskus') which Sakkie calls home. Just 5km from the cold Atlantic Ocean, approximately four hours' drive north of Cape Town, this is clearly influenced by its coastal locale with a distinctive salinity running through its core. There is an aniseed, spicy herbal character and lots of intense citrus on the palate – orange zest and pith – and gently gripping tannin (Sakkie loves the structure that the old-school basket press brings). This is a singular chenin, long and resonant - the kind of wine you want to spend a lot of time with, explaining why it has risen to cult status in just a few short years!

Lots of orange and red citrus, super-juicy. Green peppercorns and wild vanilla pod. Lemongrass fragrance. This has real energy and attitude. Minty finish. Som tam wine. JancisRobinson.com
