| Description: | 94 pts Vinous Sept 2023 The 2022 Chenin Blanc comes from the two old blocks planted in 1974 and 1976. It is whole bunch pressed, but unlike the Sauvignon Blanc, it is not settled and matured in foudres and used 300-liter oak, where it stayed for ten months on the lees. It has a very delineated bouquet with Granny Smith scents and light sea spray aromas, a very Zen-like Chenin that expresses the granitic terroir. The well-balanced palate has a slight viscosity on the entry, a little richer than previous vintages but without compromising tension, with hints of peach skin and yellow plum towards the finish. Excellent. 93 pts Tim Atkin MW 2023 Showing the exotic flavours that are common to many 2022 Cape whites, this comes from the oldest vineyards at Reyneke, both of which were planted in the mid-1970s. Nectarine and white peach flavours are underpinned by granitic minerality and a whisper of oak. 2023-28 |
