Wine Safari Score: 95/100 Greg Sherwood MW: After the block buster 2021 Monk Stone Chenin Blanc, the new release 2022 from Stark Conde will certainly draw a lot of attention.
Wine Safari Score: 95/100 Greg Sherwood MW: The Axle Chenin Blanc is made by Alex Milner of Natte Valleij winery from grapes sourced from a dryland old bush vine certified Darling heritage block planted in 1985 on decomposed granite soils.
Wine Safari Score: 96/100 Greg Sherwood MW: André Bruyns is of course the viticulturalist at the famous Lammershoek wine estate from which the grapes for this exceptional old vine wine were sourced from a Chenin Blanc block planted in 1968 on Sandstone and quartz soils.
Wine Safari Score: 96+/100 Greg Sherwood MW: In her third solo vintage at the Brookdale helm, winemaker Kiara Scott has produced an absolute cracker of a Chenin Blanc from this highly lauded vintage in the Cape.

Last 2 vintages have scored 17.5 and 18+ from Jancis Robinson.
“Great aromas of dried strawberries and fresh flowers, such as lavender. Full-bodied yet very tight and focused. Impressive tannic structure, but refined and polished. Lightly chewy. Finishes tight and refined. Best pinot of Chile. Drink after 2022, but hard to hold back.”
“Las Pizarras Pinot Noir 2019 displays a limpid ruby-red colour with beautiful violet highlights. It owns a complex nose reminiscent of rosehip, murtilla (Chilean guava), truffle, mushroom, sour cherries and a refreshing spicy tone, accompanied by soft pastries and dried fruit notes.
*ALL PRICES IN BOND* 88 points, Jasper Morris MW, Inside Burgundy: Darkish sombre crimson. The nose has a gentler red fruit, there is a significant ball of soft red fruit in the mouth, strawberries and a few raspberries, some oak at the back, acidity not especially present, tannins properly ripened.
A relatively unknown domaine, however the exquisite wines are no accident. With winemaking overseen by Pierre Millemann, it was no surprise when we tasted at the domaine last autumn that the wines are luscious and elegant. This is a grower destined to become one of the must-haves of Gevrey-Chambertin.
