Harry Hartman2020 ‘Church’ Chenin Blanc, Harry Hartman
Western Cape, South AfricaVintage: 2020
Harry Hartman wines are new to these shores and we are delighted to be among the first to list these fabulous wines in the UK. Made in tiny quantities these wines are going to be highly sought after very quickly!
This 2020 Stellenbosch Chenin Blanc is magnificently textured and one of our favourite Chenins tried this year.
In the glass, it has an inviting luminosity, somewhat steely and mineral, with a lemongrass pungency. Mellow notes of baked lemon, citrus blossom, and fresh thyme reins you in. A few moments of swirling in the glass give up a display of aromas: granny smith apples, apricots and greengage. The palate is perky with a note of old-fashioned lemon drop candy. Ripe lemon and greengage indicate youth with a crackling acidity that suits its ebullient nature, trailed with hints of thyme and oregano. The salty acidity really gives this wine something rather special.
Why we love it
Classic SA Chenin – salinity, lemon, green apple, herbs and texture.
