ready-improve2019 The Sadie Family Wines, Mev Kirsten, Ouwingerdreeks, Swartland

There’s only one foudre of this celebrated Chenin Blanc in 2019, alas, sourced from the oldest vineyard of the variety in the Cape. Now made in a more reductive, focused style than was the case in the early vintages, this has peach and pear fruit, subtle wood, effortless concentration, stony tension and palate length. Give it time to open up in the glass. - Tim Atkin MW
