David & Nadia Wines Swartland Chenin Blanc 2019 (750ML)

92 Points, Neal Martin, Vinous: "The 2019 Chenin Blanc has an appealing nose of grilled walnut, smoke and juniper berries, quite backward at first but opening nicely with aeration. The palate is well balanced with satisfying weight, a Chenin of more texture than obvious flavors, offering hazelnut, walnut, desiccated orange peel and a twist of sour lemon, and again that back note of juniper. This is very harmonious and cerebral. Superb." 02/21

96 Points, Christian Eedes, Decanter: "Grapes for this wine come from seven vineyards spread across Swartland, planted between 1962 to 1982, and all registered with the Old Vine Project. A touch of flinty reduction on the nose before pear, peach, lemon and some floral lift, while the palate is supremely elegant with lots of pure fruit, racy acidity and a pithy finish." 02/21
