Sadie Family Skurfberg (Chenin Blanc) Olifants River Region 2022

98 points Tim Atkin, MW: "[13%] Basie van Lill may have gone to the great vineyard in the sky this year (what a loss), but the farm that he made famous will live on in his family's hands. This was produced with an early pick from an 0.8-hectare parcel on red granite and iron soils, showing remarkable freshness, energy and precision, chiselled focus and the faintest whisper of old oak. A fitting tribute to a peerless grower. 2024-2030. (2023). "

98 points Neal Martin (Vinous): "The 2022 Skurfberg is pure Chenin Blanc from Citrusdal Mountains at 640m altitude, whole bunch pressed into old foudres. It has a pristine bouquet with yellow plum, crushed rock and a touch of lanolin, with hints of orange blossom coming through with time. The palate is lightly spiced on the entry with touches of stem ginger and a perfect line of acidity, gently building in the mouth towards an entrancing livewire finish that lingers long in the mouth. Thrilling. Drink: 2025-2050. (Aug 2023)"
