Johanna Brandt was a South African Spy in the boer war, a formiddable woman in South African history. This wine is a dedication to the hard-working women of the war.
Tim Atkin MW:
“95 Points. Well worth drinking alongside Spioenkop’s Sarah Rall Chenin Blanc to see the influence
of different soil types, Johanna Brandt comes from shale and is a broader, richer, more concentrated wine with wild yeast complexity, pear and stone fruit flavours and a long, mealy finish.”

Belgian native Koen farms a hilltop in the middle of Elgin WO he planted to vines in the early 2000s. A qualified engineer and former sommelier, he has a very clear vision for what he wants to achieve. His wines reflect his European heritage while still reflecting the terroir of Spioenkop. The two new single-site Chenin Blancs are particularly interesting – the ‘Sarah Raal’ is from ferricrete soils and the ‘Johanna Brandt’ is from shale. Brilliant, fine examples of cooler-climate South African Chenin Blanc. Both the Riesling and Pinotage wines are among the best in South Africa.
