"This old-vine Chenin is made with fruit from a 1982 vineyard on the lower slopes of the Kasteelberg. Rich, leesy and slightly dominated by its 50% new wood, but this has the concentration and focus to age well in bottle. Honeyed, spicy intensity is complemented by racy, chiselled acidity. 2021-25"

"Even better than the impressive 2018 - at its best, the 2019 vintage is very good for whites - this has some boiled sweet notes that will disappear into the wine over the next few months, as the spicy oak, tangy acidity, and pear and apple flavours start to assert themselves. 2021-25"

"Grapes for this Chenin were harvested from dry-farmed vineyards located at the foothills of the Kasteelberg mountain in Swartland. A light lemon peel note and a hint of smoke set the stage for a medium-bodied palate. Oak aging lends spices and richness, balanced by good acidity. — Jesica VARGAS"
