Winemag.co.za - Prescient Chenin Blanc Report 2023: Top 10 – 93 pts Grapes from vineyard planted in 1985. Matured for 11 months in 300-litre barrels. Intriguing notes of mint and other fresh herbs precede citrus and peach plus some waxy complexity. The palate is powerful – dense and thick-textured with well-integrated acidity and a gentle savoury finish. Lots going on. 92 pts Tim Atkin MW 2024 Janno Briers-Louw makes this old-vine Agter Paarl Chenin Blanc with grapes from a parcel planted in 1985. Picked in five tranches, it's a complex, layered, well-balanced wine that partners fennel and cinnamon aromas with a palate of citrus, lemongrass and wet stones. 2024-29 |
