Tasting Notes

Not big on fruit on first opening yet so expressive too. Hints of anise, celery salt and pear, developing with time open to zesty lemon mousse, green melon and herbs, and an almost Chablis-esque presence, with some peachy notes emerging too. Gorgeous mouthfeel – finishes long and stoney. 

More Info

We firmly believe that Adi Badenhorst is 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

““Big vines" is how Adi Badenhorst describes the fruit of this Swartland vineyard. The result is a wonderfully complex, self-assured Chenin Blanc with hay and wild flower aromas, a hint of gunflint, pear and quince flavours, stylish wood and enough focus and minerality to carry full malolactic fermentation. Long and detailed. Drink 2022-28, 96 points. ”
