Carinus Polkadraai Heuwels Chenin Blanc 2022 Bottle size: 750ml
South Africa, Stellenbosch
R385
‘Complete contrast to Swartland version. 2022 cool-climate Polkadraai Hills has exhilarating intensity to its steely core & reverberating dry finish. A little grip adds to structure, allowing for ripe red apple flavours to fully emerge over time. Wholebunch press, 75% concrete ‘egg’, rest year older oak, like 2021 (4.5 stars, 93 pts).‘ – Platter's Guide, 5* (95/100)
‘Chris Alheit is the man entrusted with the grapes from Danie Carinus' one hectare on the decomposed granite of the Polkadraai Hills. Planted with the SN24 clone in 2015, this young vineyard of Chenin Blanc has incredible intensity and energy, very subtle wood, leesy weight, citrus and aniseed flavours, lovely texture and a cool, precise finish. 2024-30’ – Tim Atkin MW, SA Special Report 2023, 94/100
