Critics Ratings

'Single-vineyard chenin from Montagu. Similar winemaking to sublime 2015 (5 stars, 95 pts), more Old World than New, 2016 a complex interweaving of perfume & flavours. Almond-savoury, yet floral notes, stonefruit, even minerality. Lithe & polished.' - Platter's SA Wine Guide 2018, 4.5* (92/100)

'So good (and consistent) is this wine that it's easy to forget that this is only the third vintage of Reenen Borman's delicious Chenin from isolated Montagu. Leesy, complex and focused, with citrus and pear fruit, some orange zest, subtle oak and a salty, tangy mineral core. 2018-23' - Tim Atkin MW, SA Special Report 2017, 95/100
