Heiner Lobenberg über:
Chenin Blanc Plat'bos 2019
98+ /100
Lobenberg: Granitboden, 40 Jahre alte Reben, der beste Chenin des Weinguts und einer der besten Chenins überhaupt. Konzentriert und dicht, hochmineralisch schon in der Nase, Granit ist so ein phänomenaler Untergrund für Chenin Blanc. Floral bis zum Abwinken dazu, das Ganze auf grüner Birne und Zitrus nebst weißem Pfeffer, Salz und weißem Pfirsich laufend, feine Schärfe zeigend. Ein Wein von immenser Konzentration und dennoch spielerisch und tänzelnd. Groß. 98+/100

Tim Atkin über:
Chenin Blanc Plat'bos
-- Tim Atkin: David & Nadia Sadie are now part of an elite group of South African Chenin Blanc producers, making world-class wines on a consistent basis. This is my favourite of their trio of single vineyard wines in 2019, sourced from a 3.9-hectare site on granite soils on the Paardeberg. Tight, taut and floral, with comparatively low alcohol, mouth-watering freshness, precision and acidity, notes of fennel, apple and gunflint and a lingering finish. A Cape Grand Cru. 98/100

Decanter über:
Chenin Blanc Plat'bos
-- Decanter: David and Nadia Sadie studied together before getting married in 2009, quickly becoming leading lights in Swartland. Plat’bos, part of their single-vineyard range, is from a 1981-planted site. This vintage shows lime, white peach, dried herbs and talcum powder on the nose, while the palate has extraordinary concentration matched by exhilarating acidity. 97/100

Galloni über:
Chenin Blanc Plat'bos
-- Galloni: The 2019 Plat’bos Single Vineyard (pure Chenin Blanc) has a wonderful bouquet of honeysuckle, jasmine, pine forest and hints of clementine; it gains intensity with aeration. The palate is wonderfully balanced with supremely well-judged acidity, and entertains a flor-like edge on the finish that enhances complexity and politely stays in the background. This is a fascinating and quite delicious Chenin from David and Nadia Sadie. 93/100
