Tierhoek, Old Blocks Chenin Blanc, Piekenierskloof, 2018

92
Tasted by: Georgina Hindle
From blocks of 41-year-old, organically farmed vines rooted on weathered sandstone sourced from Piekenierskloof pioneers Tierhoek. This is vibrant, with a nose of zesty lemon and green apple. The palate has earthy minerality, racy acidity, and creaminess from both tank and barrel fermentation. Lingering finish, with real elegance. Superb value!
