It&#8217;s unusual, as you might expect from a wine called &#8216;funky white&#8217;, made in a solera style with some flor involvement. It&#8217;s not really like a fino sherry; it&#8217;s just 13% alcohol. I&#8217;d say it was a bit more Jura-like. So fresh and enticing, and available in half bottles from SWIG.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Badenhorst Funky White NV Swartland<\/strong><br \/>\nA blend of Chenin, Chardonnay and Colombard, non-fortified but raised in a solera system, freshened up every year, and which contains five vintages. Wonderfully nutty Jura vin jaune-like nose, with tangy citrus notes. The palate is lively, vivid, a little salty and\u00a0has really high, enlivening acidity. Amazing freshness and complexity here in this wine.
