Dorper Chenin Blanc 2021 Bottle size: 750ml
South Africa, Stellenbosch
R250
‘Reg Holder is making increasingly impressive wines under his eponymous label, typified by the quality of this old vine Chenin Blanc. Sensitively barrel fermented, it's wonderfully stony and intense, with lovely focus and minerality, pear, beeswax and lemon zest flavours and a savoury, umami undertone. 2023-28’ – Tim Atkin MW, SA Special Report 2022, 95/100
‘A great expression of Stellenbosch Chenin Blanc, light straw with a green hue. Pineapple, passion fruit and white peach on the nose. The palate is tightly woven with quince and stone fruit flavors. Fine understated oak with the acidity gives a lively feel to the wine.’ – Winemaker

| Producer information | Dorper is the label of Reg Holder - “dorp” being Afrikaans for “town” or “village”. Reg, previously of Delheim, is now also running Lautus De-Alcoholised Wines. He wanted to work with older sites in order to avoid the “simple fruit” of young vines, and to ensure that the resulting wines “got their identity from the soil”. |
