Sadie Family
Mev. Kirsten Chenin Blanc


This is nuts. Super regal wine. Ranks among the best chenin blanc anywhere in the world. I imagine this will be very ageworthy. It built in weight as it stayed open but with a sense of minerality as well. This is stunning stuff from very old vines.

The 2019 Mev. Kirsten, which is pure Stellenbosch Chenin, is taut and precise on the nose, displaying a similar marine influence as the Kokerboom, plus touches of fern and lanolin. The saline, slightly nutty palate is supremely well balanced with a killer line of acidity and touches of sour lemon on the aftertaste. This deserves 4–5 years in bottle, as it has huge potential. A quite brilliant wine from guru Sadie. (Neal Martin, Vinous, April 2021)

This is truly extraordinary. Pineapple, white chocolate, kiwi, golden raisin, a nice strong mineral backbone.
