Planted to Chenin Blanc in 1971, Riverside is the oldest vineyard in the Keermont portfolio; the vines here sit at 250m and produce restricted yields of high quality. Made from selected parcels of grapes, fermentation occurred using indigenous yeasts, and the wine spent 11 months on the lees in seasoned French oak barrels of 225L and 500L. Greg Sherwood MW: Perfumed and peachy with a lifted top note, bathroom soap, sun lotion and an apple-melon mélange on the palate. Beverley Blanning MW: Fresh, bright, juicy-fruited wine, with lovely balance and fine texture, light oak tannins and gentle fruit. Understated and restrained, this wine is ageing beautifully. Roger Jones: Rose buds and violets on the front, hints of tangerine but restrained, clean and focused, some bitterness and spice on the mid-palate while the perfume continues to evolve.
