    Justerini & Brooks Tasting note

    A Swartland Chenin that stylistically always serves as the more backward and concentrated of the two Chenins. Where Trust is typically delicate and more open on release, Kamaraderie requires a little focus and time to reveal its truths. Less racy than the 2021 tasted last year, more on the tactile, concentrated yellow fruits, nut kernels, aniseed and green olives, it finishes firm and salty – as always, there is lots of flavour underpinned by a ripe acid framework. Two blocks both on the Paardeberg, planted in 1961 and 1968. Italian concrete for the 1961 block and used 500L cask for the other.

    Neal Martin,

    The 2022 Kameraderie is 100% Chenin Blanc from Swartland, matured in 65% concrete and 35% used oak barrels. Van Loggerenberg mentioned that it is aimed at Chenin purists. Around 70% comes from Lammershoek and was planted in 1960. It has wonderful delineation and mineralité on the nose, vibrant and brimming with energy. The palate is well-balanced with citrus peel, orange rind and just a touch of pistachio, really saline and more-ish on the finish. One of Van Loggerenberg's best cuvées this year.
