Vulpes Wines The Cape Fox Chenin Blanc 2022 Bottle size: 750ml
South Africa, Swartland
R360
‘The nose shows pear, peach, lime, earth and a hint of leesy complexity while the palate has great clarity of fruit, racy acidity and a pithy finish (alc: 12.3%). Taut, focused and long. Plenty of detail both in terms of flavour and texture. An arresting wine and one that suggests that this is a label to watch.’ – Christian Eedes, Winemag.co.za, 96/100
‘From granitic soils in the Paardeberg, this is a remarkable Chenin Blanc. It’s salty and mineral (typical of these soils) with lovely pear and peach fruit, together with grainy mineral notes. There are notes of lemons, spice and salt. It’s so expressive and focused with a sour cherry hint. Very fine.’ – Jamie Goode, Wineanorak.com, 95/100
‘Nuschka de Vos made her name at Reyneke and has now released her first white under The Cape Fox label. Produced with grapes from two Swartland vineyards - Jakkalsfontein and Sky - with a marked granite component, it's a salty, intense, focused delight, shimmering with acidity and vibrancy and exhibiting mouth-watering green apple, lime and lemongrass flavours. A brand to keep an eye on. 2023-30’ – Tim Atkin MW, SA Special Report 2023, 94/100

Traveling to Bordeaux, Mosel and New Zealand to further hone her skill and paving her way as winemaker at Reyneke Wines for 6 years, Nuschka had decided to venture off in establishing her own brand, Vuples Wines. Established in February 2022 her maiden release The Fox Chenin Blanc 2022 was produced using grapes from the Swartland area where she passionately embraces sustainability through organic and sustainable farming methods. |
