13.5%abv. Deep lemon color. Intense nose of white flowers, mandarin, orange peel, marmalade, ripe orchard fruits, beeswax, wet stone, toasty wood and sweet spices.
Rich and almost full bodied, cut thru by electrifying acidity. Full of energy with layers of flavours rippling thru. Deep stony & flinty minerality adding dimension. Already charming with tremendous potential. Rivaling the best from the Loire Valley.

Day 1 it's quite closed. A bit oily, decent acidity, good minerality and quite vague peach and pear notes. Day 2 it opened up, lots more acidity but fruit to match. A lovely wine. Can't wait to drink this with a bit more age.

Great wine, what a gem. The king of single vineyard South Africa Chenin Blanc in my eyes.

Super beau et fort gouteux.
Belle complexité, sur les abricots,
les pommes vertes et une belle minéralité.
Super long et franc de gout.
EXTRA!

Cape Cru backlog. Lovely acidity, concentrated wine. Flowers, some pear and apple, wet stone, stone fruit, waxy. Good!
