Catherine Marshall Chenin Blanc Fermented In Clay 2019

The 2019 vintage of the Chenin Blanc Fermented In Clay 2019 from Cathy Marshall really is rather lovely. Predominantly from Elgin grapes but including a portion from Bottelary, and winemaking involving fermentation and partial maturation in amphorae, the nose shows orange, peach, a hint of pineapple and some yeasty complexity. The palate meanwhile is round and creamy with nicely integrated acidity. This has wonderfully pure fruit and tangy acidity before a slightly bitter finish. It’s intricate, balanced and a total pleasure to drink. Price: R295 a bottle.

CE’s rating: 95/100.
