Reviewed October 2025This has enticing aromas of citrus pith, papayas, fresh herbs, honey and blue cheese. It’s creamy and textured, with a delicious salty, savory character. Medium- to full-bodied. 92% chenin blanc and 8% semillon from bush vines across the Western Cape. (CN)

Vinous
The 2024 Cartology comes from fruit picked in the early morning, wild fermented with 12 months on the fine lees. It offers lilting scents with orange blossom, kumquat and hints of white linen in the background, well defined, but it needs time to unfurl. The palate is well balanced with a slightly waxy-textured entry, quite spicy with a dash of white pepper, leading to a taut, refreshing finish that lingers wonderfully in the mouth. One of the Cape's iconic wines continues its run of form, but I prescribe decanting for an hour or two. (NM)
