‘71% Chenin Blanc, 26% Verdelho and 3% Viognier. Matured for 10 months in a combination of concrete egg, foudre and older barrels. Subtle and alluring aromatics of pear, peach, citrus, fynbos and again a touch of reduction while the palate is relatively lean and tense – very pure and focussed, the finish long and dry. A wine of great refinement. Alc: 13%.’ – Christian Eedes, Winemag.co.za, 95/100
'Chenin-based Cape Blend builds on its track record for excellence in 2023 with usual partners verdelho & perfuming splash viognier (26/3). Coastal grapes, as for 2022 (5 stars, 95 pts), bring sea breeze & acacia blossom notes to the bouquet, bunch ferment in oak & concrete lends gentle shape to textured & tangy peach & granadilla palate. Salty acid holds it together.' – Platter's Guide, 4.5* (94/100)
'Now established among the Cape's leading white blends, this is a pairing of Chenin Blanc, 26% Verdelho and 3% Viognier from the Swartland and Stellenbosch. Floral, pithy and effortlessly complex, it's tauter and tighter than it has been of late, with notes of thatch, wet stones, citrus and apricot, negligible oak and a mineral core. 2025-33' – Tim Atkin MW, SA Special Report 2024, 94/100

Since then, Donovan’s wines have continued on an unbelievable upward trajectory.
