Mariëtte:
A pale straw colour with a bright golden tinge. White pear and quince aromas with a touch of dried apricot on the nose, as well as a lightly wooded elegance with undertones of nuts and a creamy lees character. The palate is full and grippy with rich honeycomb and hay with great texture, which culminate in a crisp acidity and long finish. Terroir driven wines to be enjoyed with a beautiful rebel on your side.

Platter’s ****(*) / 93/100
From 36 year old Breedekloof vines shows tangy & bright profile in 2020; starfruit & angelica, some dried apricot, too, with subtle creamy backing from oak-ageing on lees. Thrilling balance (most acid, lowest sugar of the chenin trio), refined purity & long finish.
