RATINGS

93Wine Enthusiast

A stunning wine, this opens with scents of golden straw, honeydew rind, firm nectarine and fresh honeycomb that all carry through to the medium-weight mouth. The palate boasts a flinty, mineral texture and bright acidity that lends verve and precision to the notes of toasted apple, spiced orange rind and pressed yellow flowers. Hints of fresh herbs and minty fynbos grace the enduring finish.

92The Wine Advocate

...lovely bouquet: nectarine, yellow flowers, pink grapefruit and a touch of beeswax...palate is fresh and vibrant on the entry with crisp acidity, slightly waxy in texture with hints of brioche, litchi nuts, smoke and nutmeg, fanning out with a sense of confidence towards the finish.

92Stephen Tanzer

Smoky, flinty, oyster-shell minerality, menthol, and a touch of reduction dominate the nose... Plump but vibrant and classically dry... Firm, subtle, slowly mounting finish.

TYPE

White Wine, Chenin Blanc

This light-bodied white wine grape has zest and versatility depending on its style. It is grown extensively in South Africa, where wineries produce dry wines. Traditional French Chenin Blancs are sweet. It is closest to Pinot Gris and Sauvignon Blanc.
