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)
