96 points and a Wine of the Year for Chenin Blanc - 'Grensloos rounds up all Adi Badenhorst's single vineyard sites, most of which used to be bottled on their own. Using grapes from five sites on Jakkalsfontein and Kalmoesfontein, it's very gently wooded in foudres and concrete tanks, with lots of leesy richness, stony concentration and layers of beeswax, white flowers, honey and citrus. More than the sum of it's parts. Drink 2025 to 2035.' Tim Atkin MW, South Africa Report 2024.
From the Press
Beautifully defined bouquet of yellow fruit and hints of dried honey. The palate is well defined with a fine bead of acidity and touches of peach skin, quince, white pepper and fennel. Very harmonious and poised, this is a superb debut.

Neal Martin, Vinous.com

Some struck-match reduction before pear, peach, citrus, hay and fynbos on the nose while the palate shows great clarity of fruit and fresh acidity, the finish lightly acidity. Layers and layers of flavour as you might expect given the constituent parts. 95 points.

Christain Eedes, WineMag.co.za

Made with fruit from certified heritage vines, the A. A. Badenhorst Family Wines 2023 Swartland Grensloos Chenin Blanc strikes a beautiful balance between intensity and elegance. There is nothing excessive on the bouquet, where elements of stone fruit, saffron and crushed stone converge smoothly to add to the wine's nuanced appeal. The Grensloos provides a beautiful window onto the purity of the grape. The wine is finely textured with medium-bodied appeal and laced with mineral definition throughout. This is a release of 8,000 bottles.

95pts, Monica Larner, Parker's Wine Advocate
