Critics Ratings
"Very intense minerally nose with extract and green-fruit flavours but no shortage of ripeness. Very marked acidity on the very long citrus finish. This one should run and run. Great throbbing life to this wine which has something of a Grosses Gewächs about it in terms of structure: a confident mix of body, acidity and a bone-dry finish." - Jancis Robinson, JancisRobinson.com, 17+/20 (Sep 2021)
"One of the great whites of the southern hemisphere, not just of South Africa, this is the Montrachet of Chenin Blanc. Made with three different pickings from the top part of the Paardebosch farm, it has the concentration of its 40-year-old vines, mouth-watering acidity and pH, chiselled freshness and layers of rock salt, aromatic spices, pear and lemongrass." - Tim Atkin MW, SA Special Report 2021, 98/100 (Sep 2021)
