"It doesn't look like much up close - a few vines at the bottom of the Jonkershoek Valley
overshadowed by an electricity pylon - but Mev Kirsten is the oldest Chenin Blanc vineyard
in the Cape, planted in 1905 on decomposed sandstone and alluvial granite soils. I can't
recall a better release of this wine, which feels like the product of a lifetime's work. Serious,
concentrated and intense, this has layers of oatmeal, pear, citrus, lanolin and dried honey,
remarkable focus and vivacity and the concentration to develop beautifully in bottle." 99pts Tim Atkin MW South Africa Report 2024
