Exceptional 2024, from Elgin & Hemel-en-Aarde Valley vines, has intense lime & yuzu scents backing its terpene top note, white peach & nectarine flavours. Light alcohol & sugar (11.5% & 11.6 g/L) in perfect sync with rapier acidity & crystalline texture. 2023 (4.5 stars, 91 pts) ex Elgin grapes only. Also in 1.5L, as all.
Truly remarkable, wildflower-scented grenache blanc on Klein Karoo schist & slate. Thrilling steeliness the hallmark of 2024, intensified by chalky bone-dryness. Majority wholebunch, plus 9 months large oak deliver an intensity that realises the promise of 2023.

Scions of Sinai 'Granietsteen' Chenin Blanc 2024 - Sold out
5 star 95 pts
Chenin on granite stuns with its pure, visceral intensity in 2024. More linear than previous, no less persistent. Bursts of green lemon, lemon balm, white peach & quinine, their intensity & definition preserved by concrete & foudre ferment/ageing (10 months). From 1978 vines. Arresting at house’s modest alcohol (12.3%).
One of SA’s most characterful examples. 2022 excellent structure & texture, its fresh hay & limy flavours, lively & intense, underpinned by 8 months on lees & frisson of grip. Like 2021 (4.5 stars, 93 pts), part natural ferment, 66% older oak, rest terracotta dolium & amphora.
Thorne & Daughters 'Paper Kite' Old Vine Semillon 2024
5 star 96 pts
Barrel-fermented semillon from 1963 Swartland vines, 2024 first to include new oak, 20%, equal French & Austrian. Same lemon-grass, -verbena & -thyme nuances, masterly precision & depth as 2023, a little more richness & firmness.
