About this Item

The Golden Slopes Chenin Blanc 2019
3 (1 x 3) 750ml
The Golden Slopes is named after the deep yellow coloured granite rocks found in this vineyard (planted in 1966). The soils are of course granite with a 15% clay component. The results in grapes that ripen slightly later than the vineyards on the farm and the wine always has plenty of texture and tension on the palate; wonderfully balanced acidity and length too. The aromas are dominated by yellow fruits, quince and spicy notes.

Critics Ratings

'The Golden Slopes is a vineyard planted in the mid 1960s on red and yellow granite soils right at the entrance to Adi Badenhorst's farm. Dry, pithy and taut, with apple and pear fruit, a hint of old oak and a long, mouth-watering finish. 2021-28' - Tim Atkin MW, SA Special Report 2020, 95/100.
