Jancis Robinson's High-Scoring South African Small Producers Case
Wines included
Botanica Mary Delany Collection Chenin Blanc, Citrusdal Mountain 2022
Elegantly honed chenin from a high-altitude vineyard planted in 1960, labelled in tribute to the late Henk Laing who farmed it. 2022 delivered lower alcohol but the wine has plenty of substance, with typical citrus and fynbos aromas.
Minimalist 'No Place Like Home', Elgin 2022
Sam Lamson, one of the most exciting producers in South Africa, produces elegant and peppery syrah from the cool, wet Elgin region. Inspired by the northern Rhône, his 2022 'No Place Like Home' delivers impressive concentration alongside pure blueberry fruit, grippy tannins and spice lift. One for the syrah purists.
Van Loggerenberg 'Graft', Polkadraai Hills 2022
Lukas' 'Graft' is quickly becoming one of South Africa's most sought-after syrahs and the 2022 is a stunner. Intense peppercorn notes on the nose compliment a full, rich and concentrated palate. Big, spicy tannins and great length will ensure this ages well.
