Tim Atkin MW’s South Africa Report 2022

Robert Parker Wine Advocate

The 2021 Reserve Chenin Blanc displays a nutty, oxidative profile that is both bold and approachable. The palate is expansive, showcasing a robust texture with firm tannins and phenolic bitterness, lending substantial weight to the mid-palate. It finishes with notes of waxy melons, almonds and lemon pastry cream, adding layers of complexity. However, there may be room for refinement; a more precise and focused approach could potentially elevate this wine.

Tasting note

On the nose, the wine opens with aromas of ripe peach and apricot with a fragrant floral undertone. This is layered with subtle notes of toasted almond and a hint of vanilla. The palate is generous with the creamy texture working beautifully with the vibrant acidity. Layers of pear, honeyed citrus, and Golden Delicious apple. The oak influence is evident but impeccably integrated, offering nuances of nutmeg and a hint of flint and smokiness that adds depth and dimension to the wine. The finish is long and lingering, leaving a lasting impression of well-balanced richness and finesse.

 

The grapes were picked in three different passes in order to achieve optimum ripeness and balance in the final wine. The grapes were handpicked in the early morning hours, with bunch selection done in the vineyard. Fruit was cooled down and then gently pressed, whole bunch, and the juice was settled overnight without the use of settling enzymes. Fermentation occurred naturally in French oak barrels (20% new), using indigenous yeasts, with about 20% of the volume completing malolactic fermentation. The wine was aged on its lees in barrel for 10 months, without batonage.

 

The wine team - DeMorgenzon

« De Morgenzon är holländska för morgonsolen, ett passande namn för denna boutiquefastighet högt uppe på Stellenboschkloof som är den första som berörs av den uppgående solens strålar. De Morgenzon eller "The morning sun" som man skulle kunna säga. Namnet har uppkommit för att det är just denna delen av Stellenboschkloof som först får se morgonsolen. » Historia Denna egendom går tillbaka så långt som 1679 då detta var en del av ett större gods...
