Recensioni Critiche di Vini
The Damascene 2024 Swartland Chenin Blanc, from old bush vines, is broader and riper in style, with yellow fruit tones, plantain and mango replacing the flint and floral notes of Stellenbosch. Viscous and body-driven, it leans toward wet stone and marzipan rather than sharp mineral edges, delivering depth through old-vine concentration. The Swartland’s warmer, drier climate and shale-influenced soils promote roundness and fruit generosity. A total of 2,673 bottles were produced.

The 2024 Chenin Blanc Swartland comes from three parcels planted in 1971, 1979 and 1983, whole cluster pressed and matured in 1,000 oval Austrian vats. This has wonderful precision on the nose, a little more citrus than the Stellenbosch Chenin, plenty of energy with real drive. The palate is beautifully balanced with real tension, quite complex and with just a hint of stem ginger. Real brightness here and verve on the finish. This is a serious upgrade from the '23 - highly recommended. Superb.
