Description
In a nutshell:
A small production, low intervention, fresh Chenin Blanc from the Lower Helderberg area of Stellenbosch.
The lowdown:
Only 1000 or so bottles of this excellent 2020 Chenin Blanc were made by South African rising star winemaker Bernhard Bredell. Sustainability and low intervention are his methods in the vineyard, in this case a tiny 0.5 hectare plot of dry-farmed bush vines planted on the Sinai Hill slopes close to the sea, and "guidance" is his watchword in the winery, preserving a sense of place in the wine. Aromas of ripe citrus and stone fruits with minerally notes leading onto a fresh and rounded palate with lovely crisp acidity, ripe fruit flavours and a fresh finish. A very accomplished wine but due to the very small amount we have if you like it that might be it!
95/100 - Tim Atkin MW
When to drink:
Drinking well now but as with Chenin Blanc, and well-made Chenin with good acidity, it will keep and evolve.
