93/100 'Excellent' | Cameron Douglas MS
What a wonderful glass of chenin this is - a world class offering that strikes a brilliant balance between lush fruit and crisp, mouth-watering acidity. The flavours sit somewhere between the refreshing citrus of sauvignon blanc and the roundness of medium-dry riesling, making it a perfect alternate white. We loved it.
Already harmoniously delicious, this wine has the ability to further develop honeyed richness on the palate over the coming 5+ years.

Cameron Douglas MS writes "This wine needs just a few minutes in glass to chillax and open up, when this happens the bouquet is a flourish of white fleshed fruits, flowers, minerality and and a fine layer of lees spice. An almost dry wine touches the palate with flavours of fresh apple and quince, the lees spice is accentuated by the backbone of acidity. Medium-weighted with a fine satin texture, mineral and length then fruit flavours and textures repeat. Well made and ready to drink from day of purchase through 2034+."
Candice Chow, Raymond Chan Wine Reviews writes "Bright, even, pale yellow with a light green hue. The nose is gently full, with aromas of flint and spice overlying ripe stonefruit and apple. Medium-full bodied, aromas of apple and spiced pear melded with nectarine, flint and an amalgam of spice. The mouthfeel is lightly textural with fine phenolics; vibrant acidity drives a crisp, refreshing finish. This Chenin Blanc shows crisp, pure fruit, spice, texture and a savoury palate."
The winery writes "The bright nose displays fine chenin attributes of floral and citrus aromas. The crisp, refreshing palate has succulence and weight providing a finish with texture and good length."
