Kaapzicht Steytler The 1947 Chenin Blanc 2024
R 728.00
The nose is complex and expressive – thatch and fynbos to start, then citrus and white peach and a touch of waxiness. The palate is rich and intensely flavoured, but equally there’s no lack of freshness while a subtle, tonic-like bitterness to the finish also helps to keep things in check. Despite a relatively high alcohol of 13.82% and 5g/l of residual sugar, the wine wears its concentration lightly, the fruit definition very good.
CE’s rating: 96/100
