Cape of Good Hope Van Lill Chenin Blanc 2020 Bottle size: 750ml
South Africa, Citrusdal Mountain
R375
‘Very much at the racier, tauter, more mineral end of the Chenin Blanc spectrum, this comes from 55-year-old bush vines on Citrusdal Mountain. Chiselled, stony and pithy, with judicious oak, it's a wine that will reward patience. 2021-28’ – Tim Atkin MW, SA Special Report 2021, 94/100
‘Typical stone fruit of peach and nectarine, a light hint of citrus zest and gentle floral perfume on the nose. Bright, tangy vivacity on the palate which offsets the ripe, fleshy yet succulent stone fruit flavours. Rounded and rich but focussed yet precise courtesy of the acidity. The palate is harmonious and integrated with subtle oak creaminess. The finish is elegant and textured with a long, weighty aftertaste.’ – Winemaker
