| Description: | 4 ½ Stars 2023 Platter's South African Wine Guide Peach & citrus vibrancy on 21 (91 pts), fermented & aged in combo seasoned barrels & amphora, 7 months. Textured, fresh & lively, hint of sweetness countered by acidity. 91 pts Tim Atkin Mw 2022 "Big volumes, heritage vineyards and all barrel-fermented" is Rj Botha's description of this eminently dependable Chenin Blanc. Lightly wooded, off-dry and concentrated, it combines flavours of honey, passion fruit and yellow apple with gentle aromatic spices. 2022-26 91 pts Wine Advocate July 2023 The 2021 Vineyard Selection Chenin Blanc bursts with fresh layers of ripe, waxy yellow apples with a broad and expressive frame of lemon pastry cream and sweet citrus. Medium-bodied, this has delightful weight to the mouthfeel, which is food-friendly and expressive before showing a soft nutty essence and flavors of white melon. The wine glides to a delightfully lingering finish with energetic acidity. Made from free-run juice, 91,000 bottles were produced after the wine aged on the lees for seven months. 2023-2031 |
