Beaumont Chenin Blanc, Bot River, South Africa 2021
Beaumont Chenin Blanc, Bot River, South Africa 2021
Terrific value for a Chenin Blanc of this quality. It’s wonderfully clean and vibrant, a sense of crystal cut citrus fruit, stony minerals, green apple and white pear, fleshed out with a little nectarine and tangerine. Impressive for the money. The fruit is all sourced from the family’s Bot River vineyards. Grapes were gently pressed into a combination of concrete and steel vessels where the wine was fermented and matured for four months before bottling. 12.5% alc. Drink now-2026.
Press review:
Tim Atkin MW: “Unlike the top-of-the-line Hope Marguerite, this good value Chenin sees no wood at all. It’s a zesty, refreshing style with low alcohol, appealing, understated apple and citrus flavours and good palate length. Drink now-2023.” 92 points
