The 2023 Chenin Blanc from Reyneke is a wine I had tasted a month earlier at the estate in Stellenbosch. This bottle merely conrmed those observations, although it was much stricter on the nose at rst, opening within 20 minutes and adopting those almost white Bordeaux traits. The palate is beautifully balanced with tangy pithy notes, a keen line of acidity and just the hint of pear towards the nish. Marvellous!
