Description
Kaapzicht Estate, Chenin Blanc, Stellenbosch, South Africa, 2023
Grape: 100% Chenin Blanc, reductive winemaking with 8-10 hours' skin contact, aged on yeast lees for 3 months before bottling.
Producer Tasting Note:
Ripe quince, pineapple and stone fruit with some interesting savoury undertones. Lightly textured palate, with a hint of sweetness and balancing crunchy acid, results in a brisk finish.
Critic's Tasting Note:
"The 2023 Chenin Blanc offers a crushable experience, featuring citrus and smoky undertones alongside waxy melons and citrus notes. With a medium body and a clean profile, this wine delivers sweet-tart citrus flavors and finishes crisply." Drink 2023-2027
88/100 points, Anthony Mueller, WINE ADVOCATE, May 2024
