Tasting Note Kloof Street Old Vine Chenin Blanc:
This wine has a nose of sun ripened pears and wet granite. The palate has a vibrant acidity balanced by a soft, round texture and some pithy character. The wine has a fresh, mineral finish. Drinking beautifully now and best served at 10 to 12 ˚C.

Platter’s ****(*) 90/100 (oogst 2022)
A must for any chenin lover, from old vines in Swartland. 2022 notch up on 2021 (4 stars, 89 pts), fresh, with tropical fruit, hint of green herbs balanced by texture & spice from 2% portion in oak, 6 months. Also in magnum. Will reward ageing.

The grapes for our 2022 Chenin Blanc come from three sustainably farmed vineyard parcels in different parts of the Swartland: One parcel of 40 year-old Chenin planted in the stony Shale and Schist based soils of Kasteelberg, and two parcels of 40+ year-old dry land, bush vine Chenin grown in the decomposed Granite soils of the Paardeberg.
