Decanter om:
Chenin Blanc
The 2022 vintage produced a wealth of healthy fruit in spite of the regular rain and cool conditions that persisted until ripening. The fruit is all sourced from the family’s Bot River vineyards. Grapes were gently pressed into a combination of concrete and steel vessels where the wine was fermented and matured for four months before bottling. Greg Sherwood MW: Cool, stony mineral nose with green apple, white pear and a hint of peach. Mouthwatering tangerine acidity, hints of lemongrass and blood orange on the finish. Impressive for the money. Beverley Blanning MW: Intriguing spicy nose, notes of gingerbread. Excellent fruit concentration and length. Has real energy, and a lick of tangy minerality on the finish gives it interest, even excitement. Roger Jones: Fresh, bright stone fruit, beeswax, herbs, spices. Creamy but nice citrus feel. Juicy and fresh, moreish and easy drinking. 95/100
