Tight, pixellated small fruits with hints of red berries and grapefruit, pink pepper and rock salt, the 2023 shows bristling focus and austerity. Very smart indeed. The Plat’bos Chenin (Low-Bush) is the most linear, acid-driven wine of the single vineyards and the site remains an important component in both the regular Chenin Blanc and Aristargos blend. Situated immediately next to the Skaliekop vineyard but in pure, decomposed granite. Planted in 1981, it is Old Vine Project certified. One of the earliest vineyards to be picked owing to its northern (warm) exposure
