Goedhuis, March 2023
Winemaker Nic blends some very old bush vine Chenin Blanc with younger vines to make this utterly delicious 2022. A wonderful crispness and tingling energy underlie a sumptuous old vine richness. Lime skin, pink grapefruit and tangerine mix with silky white peach, quince and apricot. Jasmine and lily-tinged, there is a smoky, salty, mineral edge to this very complex wine reminiscent of crushed oyster shell thanks to its ancient granite terroir. Whole bunch pressed and fermented in old oak barrels and Stockinger foudres, this 2022 has wonderful texture and pleasing bite. There is a vibrancy that courses through onto the long, mineral finish, the perfect foil to the rich fruit. Drink 2023-2028.

Greg Sherwood MW, March 2023, Score: 95
Steely and intense, super focused and energetic, showing white pear, classic straw and dried herbs and peach stone. Seamless purity with bright refreshing acids, effortless concentration and a delightful focus. Really very pure and princely with a wonderfully premium feel.

Region
Stellenbosch
An important region in South Africa, named after the beautiful town at its centre, it is the hub of viticultural activity and learning in the country. Only slightly warmer than Bordeaux, this is an ideal climate for grape growing, and produces many impressive Bordeaux blends, as well as Chenin Blancs.
