95 points James Suckling: "Extremely aromatic, with intense flint, dried lemon and white peach. Crushed stone, too. Full-bodied with layered and creamy tannins that show super length and depth. Exciting to drink now but will age beautifully. (8/9/22)"94 points Jeb Dunnuck: "The 2019 Chardonnay VGW is fresh with white flowers, orange peel, and light flint. It has more tension on the palate, with fresh lime, delicate vanillin spice, and lasting floral notes on the back end. True to the vintage, it is a bit more subtle in its personality. although I think this will be an incredible wine as it matures over the next 10 or more years. Drink: 2024-2034. (Aug 2022)"

Winemaker Notes:  "On average more freshness and linearity are found in this vineyard. The wine shows the classic Badenhorst hallmarks of old wood, moderate alcohol and stony minerality. Taut, saline and very focused, it’s a deliciously refreshing Chenin Blanc."  Review: I decanted this in the morning and then back into the bottle for MWW The extra air made a huge difference On the nose, apple, peach, dried straw, spice, touch of smoke So beautifully balanced with creamy texture from the long lees aging Yellow peach, under ripe pineapple, apple tart tatin, quince jelly Chamomile, ginger High acidity Lovely saline finish, which I often find in Swartland Chenin But the finish was immense, it just went on and on --Lisa Harlow

Winemaker Notes The 2021 Accendo Cellars Sauvignon Blanc opens with subtle tones of Asian pear, lemon confit and lychee. Floral notes follow to reveal honeyed acacia and chamomile, with spicy notes of turmeric, white pepper and fennel seed. Hints of oyster shell, a firm phenolic backbone, and a seductive hint of oiliness give this wine excellent persistence and a mouthwatering finish.  Critical Acclaim Vinous The 2021 Sauvignon Blanc is bright, focused and beautifully delineated. Lime, white flowers, green apple and white pepper all come alive in steely, finely cut Sauvignon Blanc that is loaded with character. Above all else, I loved the precision here .

With a touch of subtle effervescence, it starts with lively notes of crisp green apple, lemon curd, fennel, and notable hints of oil from tuna can or iron-like minerality. It showcases a truly unique and enjoyable character which I can say a pure Chablis. Nice wine, however, due to its rarity, it's very pricey though. --Youngrok Kim

A crisp refreshing wine, that shows the true terroir characters of the soils and area it comes from. Always sensational with fresh Marlborough seafood, or try with all types of Pacific Rim fare.

Regular Bordeaux white wine, there is no classification for white wines in the Medoc region. This alto is a blend of 70% Sémillon added with the remainder of SB. Again a 4 star wine this one! Indeed with a super nose and fine body which has more greasy notes on top of the fruits, the wood, also fine spices and a great balance! Long lasting finish. Good & very decent wine from a well known chateau! Rate --Dries Thirion
