He is famous for stunningly pure Cinsaults from Darling and Stellenbosch, but he  started making a Chenin Blanc for his wife a few years ago, when she became fed up with only ever having red wine in the house. They hunted around to find the best grapes for their project and found a Darling vineyard planted in 1985, comprised of dry-farmed, ocean-facing bush vines on decomposed granite. The result is absolutely divine. I loved it! It's superb for the quality. And it's become, unexpectedly, very sought after. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e#Tasting#\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eWe've known the lovely Alex Milner of Natte Valleij for many years.

Such delicate florality and yet a wine that tastes as if it has been carved from ancient stones. Dancing and delicate. Unyielding. Stubborn with life. The rain dancer. The darling of Alex Milner's exquisite spectrum of Cinsaults, this is the one that, for me, tastes of sitting on Matobo rocks in Zimbabwe, watching the sun rise. There is no price high enough for a wine like this.\" - \u003cstrong\u003eTamlyn Currin, JancisRobinson.com\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e#Tasting#\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eWe've known the lovely Alex Milner of Natte Valleij for many years.
