The 2022 Aristargos is immensely complex, fresh and exciting. It comes from different soil types that express a refined mineral essence with pomaceous and yellow citrus notes in this wine. Medium-bodied, the palate displays surprising weight and a kiss of phenolic bitterness, delivering a balanced structure before ending with a food-friendly finish that has me coming back for more. An incredibly cerebral wine, the Aristargos has me thinking and going back for second and third sips. You'll want to buy as much of this as possible. Anthony Mueller, Robert Parker Wine Advocate

The 2022 Aristargos is mostly Chenin Blanc from granite soils in the Paardeberg. Whole bunch pressed and matured for 11 months in used oak. It has an attractive nose with lime flowers, grapefruit, beeswax and touches of yellow fruit. The palate is well-balanced with a lovely waxy texture and plenty of yellow fruit tinged with ginger and lanolin, poised towards the elegant finish. Lovely. Neal Martin, Vinous
