Vulpes Chama Chenin 2023 Tasting Notes
‘Grapes from two Paardeberg vineyards, one planted in 1986 and the other in 1996. Peach, soft citrus, earth and a touch of spice on the nose while the palate is rich and relatively broad with seemingly moderate acidity. Intensely flavoured and multifaceted, the finish savoury. Presents as just a little riper than 2022. Alc: 13%.’ – Christian Eedes, Winemag.co.za, 95/100
