Critics Ratings

'Johanna Brandt is the outstanding Chenin in the Spioenkop range in 2017, sourced from shale soils and aged in 30% new wood. It's a richer, bolder style than the Sarah Rall, showing notes of honey, thatch and baking spices, all built around a core of vivid, bracing acidity. 2019-27.' - Tim Atkin MW, SA Special Report 2017, 95/100

'Of the pair of estate chenins, this off shale. 2017 offers generous fruit aromas with floral & citric notes; broader than Sarah (11 months on lees in older barrels), but with penetrating 'mineral' acidity, intense & focused flavours, firm & effectively dry finish.' - Platter's SA Wine Guide 2017, 4.5*, 94/100
