"I was fortunate to taste this wine twice over the period of a few days and it really is a worldclass Chenin Blanc. In fact, this is only the second time I've given 100 points to a Cape white. First made as recently as 2017, although it comes from a parcel on the Rustenhof farm that was planted close to False Bay in 1978, it's a wine that takes South Africa to new heights. Alas, only 50% of normal volumes, but this is all kelp, petrichor and sea breezes, with incredible extract, a note of umami and a dense, refreshing, mineral-rich finish. 2025-35" 100pts White Wine of The Year Tim Atkin MW South Africa Report 2024
