Reviews and Ratings

Carolyn Hetke rated this wine as 88/100 with the following review:

If you are looking for something a little different as a summer wine try this fruity but not sweet Chenin Blanc with its enticing nose of peachy, white flowers. Pineapple and citrus notes on the crisp palate. Refreshing and silky, smooth this is a good dock or deck sipper with appetizers. Good value. Tasted July 2019. www.thewineloverskitchen.com
Rustenberg 2018 Chenin Blanc is fantastic value under $15. Fragrant with honeysuckle and bright pear notes on the nose with creamy pear, bright green apple, cake spice and mineral flavours on this dry and zesty Chenin. The Chenin Blanc wine grapes are grown on old bush vines planted in gravelly soils in the Stellenbosch wine region. Enjoy with sautéed scallops. - Community Wine Reviews

Unquenchable by Natalie MacLean

Natalie MacLean is a new force in the wine writing world ‐ a feisty North American answer to Hugh Johnson and Jancis Robinson. She can write beautifully about wine.

The Financial Times of London

There are very few people in the wine world who "get it" and Natalie is one of those who brings more fun to a buttoned-up and stodgy game.
