    Justerini & Brooks Tasting note

    The second vintage of Rondevlei, the 2022 is impressively structured and saline, with a core of deep yellow fruits like melon and quince, anchoring touches of grapefruit and spice. This vineyard was harvested on four picking dates from the end of January to the second week of February, and all four lots were kept separate. One third of the wine was fermented and aged in a concrete egg, the rest of the wine was fermented and matured in barrel before blending at the end of the year. Planted in 1984, it qualifies for the Old Vine Project seal. 1,800bts were produced. The soils are weathered gravel ore.

    Neal Martin,

    The 2022 Chenin Blanc Rondevlei comes from vines planted in 1984, and 40% of the blend was aged in concrete egg, the remainder in used barrels. It has a lovely nose, really complex, with marmalade and touches of aniseed and blackcurrant leaf. Very delineated and pure. The palate is very well-balanced with a crisp line of acidity, lemony and tensile, with an energetic, quite sustained finish. One of my picks from David & Nadia this vintage.
