‘Grapes from Lothian, 60% CY548 and 40% CY95. Fermentation begun in stainless steel tank and finished in barrel. Matured for 12 months in 228-litre barrels, 30% new. Potpourri, pear, peach, lemon, orange, a hint of earthiness and some yeasty complexity. The palate is poised and refined with a pleasing nervous tension about it – pure fruit and bright acidity before a pithy finish. Alc: 13%.’ – Christian Eedes, Winemag.co.za, 95/100
'Nico Grobler's nicely judged Chardonnay hails from a single block on sandstone. Structured, focused and driven by acidity, it has 25% new Burgundian oak, chiselled freshness, aromas of aniseed and lanolin and a toasty finish. Has the concentration to age. 2025-29' – Tim Atkin MW, SA Special Report 2024, 93/100

| Producer information | Nico Grobler is an extremely accomplished winemaker that still, somehow, flies under the radar. Responsible for the multi-award-winning Eikendal wines, Nico and his wife have set up La Brune in Elgin and focus solely on Pinot Noir. Hell-bent on making wines with natural acidity, his value Pinot is a great demonstration of this. |
