Not Tonight Josephine 2020 is straw wine produced from Chenin Blanc in the Western Cape. Duncan Savage utilised fruit from high-altitude vineyards, dried on racks to concentrate sugars and acidity naturally. A luscious profile of dried apricots, orange marmalade and honey characterises this 2020 release. Despite the high residual sugar, the wine is balanced by a piercing acidic core that ensures it remains energetic and focused. Following fermentation and maturation in old oak, the wine offers a viscous mouthfeel and a long, crystalline finish.
