Tasting Notes
"The 2024 Chenin Blanc Swartland comes from three parcels planted in 1971, 1979 and 1983, whole cluster pressed and matured in 1,000 oval Austrian vats. This has wonderful precision on the nose, a little more citrus than the Stellenbosch Chenin, plenty of energy with real drive. The palate is beautifully balanced with real tension, quite complex and with just a hint of stem ginger. Real brightness here and verve on the finish. This is a serious upgrade from the '23 - highly recommended. Superb." - Neal Martin, Vinous
