Carinus Polkadraai Heuwels Chenin Blanc 2023 Bottle size: 750ml
South Africa, Stellenbosch
R385
‘From a vineyard planted in 2015. Matured for 12 months in concrete diamond before a further four months in stainless steel tank. Exotic aromatics including jasmine, a pronounced herbal, almost minty note, citrus and ginger. The palate has an intriguing sweet ‘n sour quality to it – good fruit expression matched by tangy acidity. Alc: 12.57%.’ – Christian Eedes, Winemag.co.za, 94/100
‘Heuwels hails from the increasingly coveted decomposed granite soils of the Polkadraai Hills. Fermented and aged in concrete eggs and 20% older oak, it's a racy, tangy, electric Chenin Blanc that vibrates on the palate, with layers of apple, citrus and lemongrass and a salty finish. Brilliant stuff from consultant Chris Alheit. 2025-32’ – Tim Atkin MW, SA Special Report 2024, 94/100
