| Description: | 4 ½ Stars 2022 Platter's South African Wine Guide Quintessential Stellenbosch chenin, 20 (91 pts) has effortless poise & elegance, pure ripe tropical fruit, great presence. Cold fermented, lees aged 6 months, unwooded – the simplest formula perfectly executed. 90 pts Tim Atkin MW 2021 Bruwer Raats sold off half the Original in bulk in 2020 to retain its quality. Sourced from two vineyards on granite and sandstone soils, this is a crunchy, unwooded, peach and green apple Chenin that never lets you down. 2021-2024 90 pts Wine Advocate June 2022 Unwooded, the 2020 Original Chenin Blanc begins with a bright, classic and expressive nose with elements of apple and quince paste, lime candy, yellow apples, pineapple and hints of wax melon. Medium-bodied, the wine bursts with bright acidity on the palate—making it perfect for fresh seafood, salads and hard cheeses—before somersaulting to a long, lingering finish with a kiss of phenolic bitterness. Bravo, this is delicious. 2021-2030 |
