Press ReviewPress

...deliciously peachy 2010 Tormentoso Chenin Blanc Reserve from Man Vintners in South Africa (£9.55; 13.5% abv), which I discovered at the newly revamped Great Western Wine shop in Bath. The same maker's 2010 Pinotage (£7.60, Great Western Wine; 14% abv) is first rate, too – not at all rubbery, as pinotage can be at that price. It would also benefit from being served at about 15-16C."

Fiona Beckett, May 2011

Winemaking

Grapes were hand-harvested from bush vine vineyards on Malmesbury shale soils. Matured in a combination of French and American 225L oak barrels for 6 months for the softening effect of the oak barrels on the tannins. 5% of the barrels were new. Remaining portion was matured in stainless steel tanks. Fined and filtered before bottling with screwcap closures.
