It's always tricky to decide between Wade Metzer's two site-specific Chenins (why not just buy them both?), but in 2018 this is my favourite. Made with fruit from a cool, False Bay-influenced, old-vine parcel, it's pale, refined and appropriately salty, with sea breeze freshness and oatmeal, beeswax and lanolin notes freshened by acidity. Drink date: 2020-2025. Score - 95. (Tim Atkin, MW, timatkin.com, South Africa Special Report 2019)
