Critics Ratings

'Hoë-Steen comes from a 1968 vineyard to the west of Malmesbury on deep red iron and clay-rich soils. Broader and richer than the other single site Chenins from the Sadies, with some ferrous grip, fine oak integration, pear, cream and stone fruit flavours and a taut finish. 2022-30.' - Tim Atkin MW, SA Special Report 2021, 96/100

'Quite a panoply of aromas on the very intense nose. Perhaps the purest expression of Chenin Blanc in the David & Nadia stable. Long and neat. But I can't help seeing parallels with a fine Puligny-Montrachet, I'm afraid. Very long and sleek, with real refreshment value and ageability.' - Jancis Robinson MW, JancisRobinson.com, 17.5/20 (Sept 2021)

'Single old parcel, naturally fermented & aged 11 months in old oak, as all these. Composed 2020 picked late & fermented wholebunch, apple skin character & slight reduction, quince vibrancy with concentration, body, length & ineffable poise.' - Platter's SA Wine Guide 2022, 5* (94 pts)
