Nic van Aarde’s skill as a white winemaker is on show with his Chenin of 2023. A blend of both old and young vines, this is an intensely aromatic and complex wine, displaying notes of fresh nectarines, orange rind, and touches of lanolin. On the palate, there is a freshness and lively lemon zest coming to the fore, while more stone fruits such as apricot and peach can be found on the finish. Thanks to its ancient granite terroir, the wine has a saline edge, which cuts through the richness. There’s a reason why this is a staff favourite.

Banghoek’s cooler climate means that the area is ideally suited for the production of more elegant and Burgundian styles of Chardonnay. Fermented and matured in French oak, this is a full, malolactic style with wonderful textural richness and a delicate creaminess front and centre. Showing aromas of ripe orchard fruit and honey, there is precision and mouth-watering freshness on the palate, with toasted brioche notes adding further depth to the finish. On a par with any great premier cru Burgundy.

Neal Martin, August 2024, Score: 92
The 2023 Chardonnay comes from the Banhoek Valley, harvested from seven-year-old vines after the entire vineyard was replanted to make it virus-free. It has a fresh and lively nose, with lemon sherbet and orange zest tincturing the citrus fruit and touches of flint developing with aeration. The palate is well balanced with a mineral-driven opening, good tension and slight reduction. Lightly spiced on the finish, this is a very commendable showing, especially considering the youth of the vines. Drink 2024-2034.
