Steilpad Chenin Blanc 2023 Bottle size: 750ml
South Africa, Swartland
R380
‘Fraction ex 1968 parcel joins 1970s Paardeberg vines in subtly earthy 2023. Signature initial taut steeliness slowly yields to white peach, apricot & orange rind. More savoury (courtesy some whole bunches) than 2022 (90 pts), year older oak mere whisper on emphatically dry finish.’ – Platter’s Guide, 4.5* (94/100)
‘This is the second release from Jorrie du Plessis and it confirms the promise of his début. Sourced from the granite soils of the Paardberg - one of Chenin's home from homes in the Cape - it has aromas of fynbos and sweet spices, a palate of tangerine citrus and green apple and a taut, chiselled finish. 2024-29’ – Tim Atkin MW, SA Special Report 2024, 93/100
