Rock of Eye Chenin Blanc 2022 Bottle size: 750ml
South Africa, Stellenbosch
R330
‘Grapes from a Simonsberg vineyard planted in 1980. Fermented in a combination of concrete egg and barrel, partially new. Citrus, peach, hay, herbs and ginger and other spice on the nose. The palate has a dense core of fruit, bracing acidity and a pithy finish. Direct and harmonious. Alc: 12.95%.’ – Christian Eedes, Winemag.co.za, 93/100
‘The nose begins with elegant honeysuckle aromas followed by ripe melon and nectarine aromas. The nose finishes with the richer honeycomb, orange zest flavours while cream and cardamon lingers in the background. The palate is full of melon and nectarines with an underlying fresh zest. It is satisfyingly refreshing and elegant with a lingering spicy finish. As the maiden vintage of this wine, it is showing well in its youth, and curious to follow how the wine will evolve with maturation.’ – Winemaker
