‘This is impressive Chenin Blanc from a blend of vineyards in and around the Bottelary Hills in Stellenbosch that were fermented and aged in old oak barrels. The aromatics show an archetypal wet river stone, granitic mineral aromatics intertwined with notes of crunchy pear, white peach, wet hay, and dried herbs with subtle hints of dry bushveld after early summer rains. With a modest 13% alcohol, the palate displays a very decent depth of fruit and glycerol weight in the mouth with yet more wet stone liquid minerality, green pear, pithy apple skins and delicate white citrus nuances. One of the highlights is undoubtedly the wine’s deliciously vibrant tangy acids that carry the mineral laden fruits with notable length on the finish. Quite a serious, grown-up expression of Chenin Blanc for sure. Drink on releases and over 8 to 10+ years.’ – Greg Sherwood MW, 93+/100

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”.
