Chenin Blanc 2019

Provenance

The late David Brice was a respected wine connoisseur, collector and co-founder of Brice and Burnett – The Fine Wine Specialists (formerly Wine Cellar). His lifelong passion for wine from all corners of the world wine, and generosity, helped develop a culture of fine wine in South Africa and beyond. Always with value and authenticity in mind, the collection spans a wide range of styles from leading producers and diverse regions. The wines were professionally imported under refrigeration and carefully stored at Brice and Burnett (formerly Wine Cellar) thereafter. Many of the producers are not available in South Africa and provide an excellent buying opportunity.

For more detailed information on the lots, please feel free to contact Roland Peens (roland@briceandburnett.co.za). Roland spent many years sharing and enjoying these wines with David Brice and is happy to provide further insight into the collection.

Critics Ratings

"It tastes magnificent. Its cool microclimate shows on the nose with brilliantly defined scents of honeysuckle, lanolin, conference pear and white peach that unfold and gain even more complexity the following day. The palate is beautifully balanced. There is real complexity that derives not from obvious flavours, rather its wonderful waxy texture and salinity that electrifies the finish. One of the best Chenin Blancs that I have tasted in a long time." - Neal Martin, Vinous, 93/100 (Dec 2020)

"A benchmark Swartland Chenin of genuine class. The Eikelaan fruit is exceptional and David Sadie knows precisely what to do with it." - Tim Atkin MW, SA Special Report 2020, 94/100 (Sep 2020)
