Winemaker Notes: A blend of two mountain vineyards, our estate Fijnbosch vineyard and the neighboring Nooitgedacht vineyard, Silene provides an aromatic explosion of lime, lemon, orange blossom, jasmine and spice. A tight palate of citrus and rich minerals drives a saline finish, light on its feet yet dense and long.
CRITICAL ACCLAIM
98 points, Tim Atkin - "One of the greatest Chardonnay's ever produced in South Africa, this is a world-class wine. With layers of kelp, vanilla spice, oyster shell, struck match and waxed lemon. Long, nuanced and very complex."
96 points Decanter - "Bursting with ripe peach, pear and pineapple, this has an expressive vanilla bean oak intensity and a lively tension from the lemon acidity. Long, herbaceous and fulfilling style."
91 points Robert Parker's Wine Advocate - "The 2021 Chardonnay Silene captivates with its Chardonnay essence, complemented by nutty oak, lemon and green apple notes alongside hints of fynbos. Medium to full-bodied, it unfolds on the palate with a subtle kiss of reduction, while the energetic acidity and hints of baking spices linger on the finish. 15,000 bottles were produced. 91+"
