James Suckling (93)

A sleek yet creamy chenin with notes of apricot stones, fresh herbs, lemons and chopped apples on the nose. Some flinty undertones. Mineral and focused, with a medium body and excellent precision. Drink or hold.

Vinous (92)

The 2022 Chenin Blanc (Swartland) is whole cluster pressed and matured in 1,000-liter Oval Austrian vats for 11 months. The very precise nose has lemon thyme and light red apple scents, with just a touch of orange rind in the background. The palate has a lovely texture with a slightly resinous mouthfeel, yellow fruit mixed with ginger and marmalade, and a light twist of bitter lemon lending tension on the finish. Fine length. A very classy Chenin.
