About this Item

DeMorgenzon
Reserve Chenin Blanc 2012
6 (1 x 6) 750ml
DeMorgenzon's Chenin Blanc comes from low-yielding vines planted in 1972, which were originally planted as bush vines but recently lifted onto trellises. The vines are planted in decomposed granite soils, at altitudes of 250 to 300 meters above sea level. Close proximity to False Bay ensures cooling breezes in the warm summer months.

Critics Ratings

'It has a lovely, pure, delineated bouquet with dried honey, dried apricot and a touch of lemongrass. The palate is medium-bodied with harmonious, vibrant citrus fruit married with apricot, quince and a touch of marmalade. There is tremendous weight and precision here with a long finish that is top-drawer. This is a benchmark Chenin Blanc. Drink now-2020.' - Neal Martin, Wine Advocate, 93/100 (Oct 2013)

'Benefit of 40+ year bushvines evident in 2012's delicacy & concentration. Less oxidative, more (botrytis-free) ripe fruit than 2011, also a touch drier, highlighting the mineral tension. Plenty of savoury richness too. Can be cellared with confidence.' - Platter's SA Wine Guide 2012, 5*
