Critics Ratings
'From a single-vineyard in Montagu, one of the least showy and assertive of the Cape's really fine Chenins. 2017 all subtle, complex allusion, working through the gentle persuasion of its peachy, citric, floral finesse. Silky texture, with tenderly penetrative acidity.' - Platter's SA Wine Guide 2019, 4.5* (93/100)
'These 34-year-old vineyards are located at 560 metres and produce a remarkable Chenin Blanc from a little-known wine region. Stony, fresh and bone dry, it's sappy and dense, with notes of honey, fresh bread and citrus fruit. 2018-23.' - Tim Atkin MW, SA Special Report 2018, 95/100
