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
'A three way joint-venture which includes Reenen Borman of Boschkloof, this is my white wine discovery of 2015. Formerly sold off to the local co-op, this Montagu Chenin Blanc is a revelation. Saline, textured and oatmealy, with some skin tannins, wax and spice and perfectly judged oak. Drink: 2015-22' - Tim Atkin MW, SA Special Report 2015, 94/100
'2014 single-vineyard chenin from Montagu has Old World styling, faint stonefruit, lemongrass & green olive notes, & very dry; earthy & mineral, moderate alcohol, perfect balance. Nothing overt, has quiet assurance. More a ‘sense of being’ than a wine.'- Platter's SA Wine Guide 2016, 4.5*
