BROOKDALE’S 2021 MASON ROAD SYRAH VOTED TIM ATKIN’S ‘BEST VALUE RED OF THE YEAR’
Brookdale’s Mason Road wines commanded attention in Tim Atkin’s South Africa Special Report this year, when the 2021 Mason Road Syrah walked away with a Medal of Excellence as the 2022 Best Value Red of the Year.
Esteemed wine critic Jancis Robinson recently published ‘A South African miscellany', awarding a 17.5 out of 20 score to the Brookdale Chenin Blanc 2019 - effectively placing it amongst the highest rated Chenin Blancs in South Africa.
‘Powdery, fragrant honeysuckle and jasmine with sweetness of ripe white peach. Creamy, tingling, richly textured spreading all over the palate. Apricots and avocado, matcha powder and tarragon and dripping ripe white melon. A quiet tap-tap of pepper on the scalpel-fine drawn-out finish. Elegant and beautifully composed. This is a seriously classy, sophisticated-artisan Chenin,’ says Robinson who was internationally recognised as ‘the Best Wine Critic of the World’ in the Best Wine of the World Competition 2018.
