Description
"We’ve championed the merits of the variety before it was cool to do so, striving to showcase transparency of top vineyard sites and varietal character ahead of all else. The core barrel component of this bottling comes from a site planted in 1969 (a site wholly supplying our flagship Chenin, Radford Dale 'Renaissance').
Light straw in colour with a subtle lime hue on the edges. Aromas of ripe white peach, winter melon, and a delicate touch of Cape Jasmine greet the nose. The palate exhibits elegance, boasting a medium body, while the wine culminates in a crisp, refreshing finish that uplifts the senses." - Winemaker Notes
"One 52-year-old parcel on decomposed granite soils supplies the fruit for this everreliable, well-priced Chenin Blanc. Picked in January to retain acidity, it's a lightly oaked, foudre and older barrel-aged white with citrus and yellow apple flavours and a leesy mid-palate." - 92 points, Tim Atkin
