New Vintage Release | New Baby 2024 | Six Barrels
 
are delighted to release the 10th vintage of New Baby 💫
 
First bottled in 2015, this is one of the wines they most look forward to sharing each year. The 2024 vintage brings together Chenin Blanc from their 1974 vineyard, Sauvignon Blanc from a special block planted in 1983, and a small block of Colombar from a vineyard planted in 1988.
 
The Chenin provides structure, the Sauvignon Blanc adds an enticing perfume, and the Colombar brings freshness and nerve.
 
They recently revisited the 2016 vintage and found it beautifully complete and silky, with a lovely sense of harmony. The 2024 shows a touch more fruit and freshness, making it a wonderful companion to linefish and simple summer meals.

Platter’s gave it 95 points and called it “The gourmet breakfast-wine of champions” saying this “stellar Cape Blend 2024 sets the bar high…grapefruit, toast & marmalade, finishes with scrumptious pastry cream.”
 
Every year brings a new baby, and this tenth release is already showing all the beauty, complexity and character that have made the wine such a favourite over the years.
 
Available now from their cellar door and online.
