Tasting Notes

"Klip Kop is an east-facing, mid-slope vineyard at 240 metres on the classic granite soils of the Paardeberg. Concrete fermented and aged, it has alluring fynbos aromas, lots of energy and focus, tangy acidity and layers of quince, fennel, green apple and dried herbs."2024-30, 94/100, Tim Atkin MW

More Info

We believe that Adi Badenhorst is one of the most exciting winemaker in South Africa. He is also the most frustrating. His laid back, self-deprecating, playful manner keeps you guessing and makes you wonder whether he has any idea what he is actually doing, whether he just chucks some grapes into a vat and hopes for the best, but we know full well that there is a huge amount of expertise that goes on behind closed doors, when no one is around to witness his skill and diligence ...and spoil his reputation!

FROM THE PRESS

“The 2022 Klipkop Steen is matured in a concrete vat. It opens nicely in the glass with a pretty nose of hazelnut, touches of peach and crushed stone. The taut, fresh palate has balance and a slightly honeyed texture, the acidity keeping the finish firm and focused. Moderate length. This very assured Chenin Blanc from Badenhorst will be difficult to resist young.”
