| Description: | 5 Stars 2020 Platter's South African Wine Guide Consistently stellar wild-fermented chenin, 18 (96 pts) stylish as ever, chalking up Bottelary Hills bushvines' 54th birthday with 6th maximum rating in the guide, 4th in succession. Whisper of honeyed botrytis, juicy peach flavors – delicious, complex & carried to sweet-fruited conclusion on wave of ripe acidity. Resist for a few years at least. 94 pts winemag.co.za Dec 2019 The number on the bottle refers to the age of the vineyards in the year the wine was made and as ever with this, it ain't short of richness. Fermentation in barrel occurred spontaneously and took eight months to complete before an additional month of maturation on the lees. The nose shows citrus, stone fruit and some waxy character. The palate is super-concentrated, full and round, a terrific line of acidity lending balance and verve. It's a very flavourful, rather dramatic wine |
