FRAM Chenin Blanc 2015 Bottle size: 750ml
South Africa, Western Cape
R500
'Piekernierskloof, Swartland & Bottelary sourced 2015 underwent natural ferment in old oak. Concentrated dried peaches, hay & earthy tones give richness & breadth, yet it’s light & fresh; flavours linger on pithily dry tail. Should improve good few years. 2014 (4.5 stars, 93 pts) from Citrusdal Mountain.' – Platter's Guide, 5*
'Very expressive on the nose with a top note of potpourri before citrus, yellow peach and even a hint of pineapple plus some lanolin and earth. The palate meanwhile displays impressive fruit concentration offset by snappy acidity and there are layers and layers of flavour to be discovered with each sip. Entirely rock ‘n roll.' – Christian Eedes, Winemag.co.za, 95/100
'Like several of the best Chenins in the Cape, this is sourced mostly from Christa von La Chevallerie’s much sought after Swartland vineyard. It’s a complex, stony Chenin with cooked apple, pear and beeswax notes and a core of mouth-watering acidity. The oak is the softest of whispers here.' – Tim Atkin MW, SA Special Report 2016, 95/100
