About this Item
Hope Marguerite 2012
6 (1 x 6) 750ml
Quietly regarded as one of South Africa's benchmark Chenin Blancs, this barrel fermented, elegant style put Bot River and Beaumont on the fine wine map. Known to age for a decade or more, the Hope Marguerite has the longest consecutive Platter 5* track record in the history of the guide.

Critics Ratings
'Internationally lauded a SA classic, the farm's top white is from low-yielding old vines. Drier 2012's cool-fruited focus, tension & freshness has a subtle, rich undertone. Elegant & polished, with modest 12.6% alcohol belying its intensity.' - Platter's SA Wine Guide 2014, 5*
'A bit of damp straw on the nose, fresh apple fruit with a toffee, dairy character on the palate. Fine, crisp finish. Lovely savoury finish - mealy and fine. Combines the richness of the New World with the nerve of the Loire.' - Richard Hemming MW, JancisRobinson.com, 17/20 (May 2014)
