The white wine Optenhorst, vintage 2019 from the winery Bosman Family Vineyards has been rated in 2022 by Malu Lambert with 96 Falstaff points. It is a wine made from the grape variety Chenin Blanc from the region Wellington in South Africa.
Top notes of floaty orange blossom, citrus zest and smoked honey. On the palate the fruit is orange-toned and fleshy, tangy apricot and nectarine, underlaid by pear and pith. The French oak is well judged for the concentrated flavour profile. A line of stony acidity and hints of the tropics draw into a long, fruit-driven finish.
