'Taut, focused, precise & poised chenin from Montagu single-vineyard. 2023's lovely body offers generous nectarine, quince & star anise with texture & chalky grip from natural ferment in older barrel, year on lees. Improves on 2022 (4.5 stars, 93 pts) in depth & confidence.' – Platter's Guide, 5* (95/100)
‘Continuing a rich run of form, Patatsfontein Steen hails from a single, 36-year-old block on slate soils at 800 metres. Steely as well as slightly salty - strange given that we are nowhere near an ocean - this has star anise, hay and fresh herb aromas, understated intensity, precis citrus, wax and lemongrass flavours and a hint of wood spices. 2024-29’ – Tim Atkin MW, SA Special Report 2023, 95/100
‘Stone fruit and fynbos aromatics. Saline mid palate. Long textured finish.’ – Winemaker

| Producer information | Patatsfontein is a winemaking venture formed by Reenen Borman of Boschkloof, fund manager Henk Kotze and Fritz Schoon – ‘Master’ baker of Schoon De Companje in Stellenbosch. Reenen's accomplished hand and ever-increasing skills are especially impressive considering his young age. He's possibly our finest new-generation winemaker at present and his latest releases are just epic! Their 2014 Steen was Tim Atkin's White Wine Discovery of the Year and changed the status quo of what can be achieved in a region essentially known for sweet Muscadel. |
