Critics Ratings
"Chenin Blanc. Pure essence of apricots, so sweet and intense and concentrated but utterly fresh. Profound and unspeakable riches." - Julia Harding MW, JancisRobinson.com, 19/20 (Mar 2013)
"The 2010 Straw Wine has a more resinous, waxier nose than the 2008 or 2009 - acacia honey, honeysuckle and apricot. There is a more Tokaji Aszu-like quality to the wine. The palate is very well balanced with good acidity that cuts through the viscous fruit. Despite the residual sugar level, it has as much freshness as the 2009, though it tapers just a little on the finish." - Neal Martin, Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, 93/100 (Nov 2015)
"This is gorgeous, with date, persimmon, guava and lychee flavors all framed by a dried orange peel note. Unctuous and fleshy on the finish, but with a mouthwatering edge. Chenin Blanc." - James Molesworth, Wine Spectator, 92/100 (Apr 2012)
