TCJ assessment

A remarkable project centered on old vineyards, with Chenin Blanc at the core of a wine defined by texture, structure and precision.

There is considerable depth on the palate, but the wine remains energetic and well defined. Texture is particularly important here, giving the wine substance without compromising freshness or balance.

Still very young, with plenty of life ahead. An excellent expression of the potential of South Africa’s old vineyards and a wine that should continue to gain complexity with time in bottle.
