Chenin Blanc, Noa, 2021
The debut Noa Chenin Blanc is the product of one concrete egg hailing from a high granitic parcel of vines on the Paardeberg planted in the early 1960s. Super cool and crispy on the nose with a sophisticated, flinty note, the overall impression is a pared-back super tense and citrus-driven Chenin. Some white flowers and herbs and a touch of leesy complexity on the finish. Really a wonderful Chenin Blanc which exhibits all the lively juice and fluidity of the Paardeberg.
critic reviews
Made from old-vine Chenin Blanc planted in the 1960s, the 2021 NOA Chenin Blanc is fresh and juicy and offers serious mineral expression with aromas of lemon and white flowers. Medium to full-bodied, the palate offers fantastic texture with the breadth and depth of an age-worthy Chenin Blanc before ending with a classic, lively finish. Bravo!
