Critics Ratings

'From a vineyard in Stellenbosch planted between 1905 and 1920. A billowing nose of potpourri, citrus, stone fruit, earth, ginger and other spice plus a hint of leesy complexity. The palate is super-rich but equally super-fresh, thick-textured yet simultaneously vibrant and so very complex. Utterly compelling.' - Christian Eedes, Winemag.co.za, 96/100 (Nov 2018)

'The 2017 Mev. Kirsten is pure Chenin Blanc from the oldest Chenin Blanc in South Africa, planted in 1905. It has a very intense bouquet of yellow stone fruit, chamomile and touches of orange blossom. The harmonious, beautifully defined palate offers perfect acidity and flavors of orange peel, ginger, fynbos, white peach and, again, a hint of chamomile that lingers beautifully in the mouth. This is another stunning white from Eben Sadie, one of the best wines he's ever made - and he's made a lot.' - Neal Martin, Vinous, 97/100 (Aug 2018)

'This has a rich and rounded feel, with a mix of melon, pear and fig fruit flavors gliding along, augmented by pretty white ginger, honeysuckle and acacia notes on the finish. Chenin Blanc. Drink now through 2022.' - James Molesworth, Wine Spectator, 93/100 (May 2019)
