Critics Ratings

'It's an invidious choice, but this is my pick of the array of superb Badenhorst Chenins in 2018. Sourced from a very rocky "haut granitika" site, as it says on the label, this is a world class white. Stony, pithy, chiselled and complex, it's appley and saline, with the faintest hint of wood and a finish that lingers hauntingly on the tongue. 2020-30' - Tim Atkin MW, SA Special Report 2019, 96/100.

'Top notes of flowers and herbs before white and yellow fruit plus hints of earth and spice. The palate shows lovely focus and energy - pure fruit, fresh acidity and a gently savoury finish.' - Christian Eedes, Winemag.co.za, 94/100 (Oct 2019)

'From low-vigour vines in shallow granite soils, 2018 understated & assured. Nuanced quince rather than stonefruit, wet terracotta earthiness & persistent sweet-fruited finish. 11 months in large chestnut foudre aids integration, not aromatic/flavour development.' - Platter's SA Wine Guide 2020, 4.5* (93/100)
