Miles Mossop Wines Chapter Three Chenin Blanc 2022 Bottle size: 750ml
South Africa, Stellenbosch
R295
‘From vines planted in 1982, the 2022 Chenin Blanc comes from east-facing vines, went through 50% malo, and matured in 400-liter French oak barrels (15% new) for ten months. The lovely bouquet offers apricot and quince, very pure and expressive, with hints of yellow flowers. The palate is medium-bodied with a sapid entry, yellow fruit mixed with orange rind, and brisk acidity with good extract on the finish. This is a superb Chenin from Miles Mossop. 2024-2036’ – Neal Martin, Vinous, 92/100
‘Grapes from a 1982 Stellenbosch vineyard on shale. Matured for 10 months in 400-litre barrels, 16% new. The nose shows lime, apple and peach plus thatch and some herbal character while the palate is medium bodied with bright acidity and a pithy finish. Already quite accessible – alcohol is 13.5%.’ – Christian Eedes, Winemag.co.za, 91/100
‘This wine has a brilliant deep straw colour. One the nose floral notes of orange blossom and honeysuckle are evident with hints of peach, citrus and a faint toastiness. The palate is full and rich packed with yellow fruits, a grippy mid-palate leads to a textured finish of toasted almonds and a pithy citrus flavours.’ – Winemaker
