Tasting notes Shannon Capall Bán 2018

White wine Aged on its lees. 9 months on lees in the barrel.

Shannon Capall Bán 2018 is a white wine that opens with delicate notes of peach and walnut, intertwined with ripe citrus and a subtle toasted echo. On the nose, lemongrass, ginger, and linden blossom emerge, fresh and almost mineral-like. On the palate, it combines the muscle of Sémillon with vibrant acidity, unfurling layers of green apple, lime, and a whisper of honey over a creamy oak backdrop. Its gradual evolution invites one to envision a bright afternoon, the kind where the perfect white wine accompanies leisurely conversations.

About Shannon Capall Bán

It is said that in the valley of Elgin (South Africa), before the sun rises, nature harbours a secret: a cold white mist descends from the mountains, drifts through the air, and envelops the vineyards like an ancient whisper. This very mist —the breath of the Palmiet River— serves as the muse that inspires Shannon Vineyards and imparts character to Shannon Capall Bán, a wine born from the Cape’s coolest climate and a landscape that seems to paint each dawn with its own watercolour.

Shannon Vineyards is a boutique winery with the soul of an artisan and the vision of a steward. Across its mere 10 hectares, the philosophy is cultivated that wine is not just made: it is listened to, respected, and interpreted. Their philosophy of minimal intervention, coupled with a genuine commitment to sustainability and environmental conservation, allows each bottle to authentically express the terroir of this unique region. Here, agricultural practices honour both the land and the species that inhabit it, building a legacy with the next generation in mind.

Shannon Capall Bán, named after the peak of the mountain range just above the vineyards, is a Bordeaux-style white wine crafted from sauvignon blanc and semillón varieties. The grapes —from Bordeaux-origin clones— are hand-harvested, chilled to 3°C, and handled with utmost care: gravity racking, separate fermentations in new and old French oak barrels, and maturation on lees that adds texture, depth, and distinction. The semillón reveals an intriguing, almost mystical nose: musky notes intertwining ginger, quinine, lime zest, and cardamom, all underpinned by a stony minerality. The sauvignon blanc contributes aromatic lift, vibrancy, and that elegant tension so typical of great cool-climate whites.

Shannon Capall Bán is an invitation to pause time. It captivates with its structure, expansive palate, and precise acidity, balancing sensuality with intellect. Savour it with dishes deserving of a characterful white: fatty fish, creamy risottos, roasted poultry, or even aromatic Asian cuisine. Or, simply open it on a tranquil evening, when the light turns golden and each sip tastes of landscape, of the mist that outlines the day’s first breath, and of memory. Like all wines with soul, it improves after a few years in the bottle, unveiling layers that only such a singular terroir can offer.
