Carinus Rooidraai Chenin Blanc 2022 Bottle size: 750ml
South Africa, Swartland
R385
‘A combination of a fantastic 1981 vineyard on decomposed granite soils and a brilliant winemaker in the person of Lukas van Loggerenberg has resulted in a wine of complexity, poise and intensity. Chiselled, focused and leesy, with stony zip and pear, citrus and green apple fruit. 2024-30’ – Tim Atkin MW, SA Special Report 2023, 95/100
‘From a vineyard planted in 1981. Matured for 10 months in old 300-litre barrels. Pear, peach, orange, a subtle leesy note, ginger and other spice on the nose while the palate has great presence – good weight and texture offset by punchy acidity. With layers of flavour and a long finish, this is most sophisticated. Alc: 12.2%.’ – Christian Eedes, Winemag.co.za, 95/100
