Beaumont Hope Marguerite 750ml

‘Year in, year out, this exceptional Chenin Blanc vineyard delivers the goods. Planted in 1974 and 1987 on a combination of gravel, sand and shale, it produces a wine with wonderful energy, poise and focus. Lime, pear and green apple flavours are complemented by understated oak and a tangy, mouth-watering finish. 2023-30’ – Tim Atkin, MW, South African Special Report 2022, 95/100

‘Grapes from the two oldest blocks of Chenin Blanc on the property, planted in 1974 and 1978 respectively. Spontaneously fermented and matured for 10 months in older 400-litre barrels. The nose shows subtle notes of pear, white peach, lemon, dried herbs and some flinty reduction while the palate is relatively lean with fresh acidity and a saline finish. It’s currently restrained to the point of austere but by the same token there’s the sense that time in bottle will only do it good.’ – Christian Eedes, Winemag.co.za, 92/100
