| Description: | Decanter 97 Points - "This suburban vineyard may not be as remote as some of Eben Sadies plots, but it still produces a very special wine. Made without skin contact since 2012 and fresher as a result its tangy, saline and piercingly fresh. A pure, almost transparent expression of a special site. Drink 2018-2028.". Grapes for the Mev. Kirsten are from a decomposed granite vineyard (planted 1905-1920s) at the foot of Bothmaskop Mountain in Stellenbosch's Jonkershoek Valley, with an avg yield of 7 hl/ha. The mere one ha of vines belonging to Mrs. Kirsten and her family is recognized as the oldest Chenin Blanc in South Africa. Naturally fermented with wild yeasts in old wooden foudres. This is Chenin Blanc in an older school of expression and more eccentric of nature, with more tropical and big ripe stone fruit aromas. It has an amazing texture, lingers beautifully in the mouth. |
