About this Item
Patatsfontein is a winemaking venture formed by Reenen Borman of Boschkloof, fund manager Henk Kotze and Fritz Schoon – ‘Master’ baker of Schoon in Stellenbosch.
This unique wine is made from an old single vineyard situated 600m above sea level in the Montagu mountains planted on Karoo slate and shale. Today it is one of South Africa’s greatest Chenin Blancs.
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
