Ray Jordan’s review
This is another take on chenin, confirming its versatility for different expressions and styles. In this case it's been pressed to oak puncheons where it spent eight months. The ‘22 vintage delivered powerful and richly flavoured fruit, so the oak has been easily taken up. Lots of stone fruit with a faint lemon rind lift. It's a wine that is great now, but which will continue to develop.
