Sadie Family - Skurfberg 2018
93/100
Robert Parker
" , from the Olifants River region, Skurfberg 2018 is the purest expression of Chenin Blanc. The nose opens with precision and concentration to be one of South Africa's greatest bottles of Chenin Blanc, highlighting pineapple with a rocky minerality, enveloped in citrus and tropical fruit aromas. The palate is just ripe, with golden apples and freshly squeezed lemon zest and a hint of pleasant waxy bitterness. This wine has length, is well balanced with great complexity, and I even took a second sip. The medium-bodied wine ends with a long, powdery, thought-provoking finish.
