Warning! Wunderkind wine! Chris and Suzaan continue to do great things with the little plots of heritage vines they find in the nooks and crannies around Walker Bay. Gorgeous lemon curd, peach and poached pear flavors have a stark mineral tone and a hint of toasty butterscotch in the finish.

Another stellar vintage. Love this wine with its balance of richness and pure Chenin Blanc character. Lots of honey, chamomile and quince with pulsating acidity.

Absolutely lovely Chenin with about 10% Semillon. Very pure aromas and shimmering texture.

Such an intense wine. Bursting with florals and beeswax. Finish goes on and on

Really love this stuff. It's beginning to define a whole new category of sa wine and is so unique. More Rhone white that Loire, the wines is rich, creamy, round and concentrated without being overripe.

Holy moly, this is stellar juice. Immensely concentrated, lush and near-creamy texture with killer acidity. Finishes a touch hot, but who cares? This is dope.
