Some wines are worth putting straight in front of you.
Stark-Condé’s 2025 Field Blend has just arrived at Museum Wines, and it couldn’t have landed at a better moment. Tim Atkin MW has just released his 2026 South Africa Report, and has awarded this new vintage 95 points.
At £28.98, it’s a particularly compelling way into Stark-Condé’s remarkable Jonkershoek Valley wines: mountain-grown, precise and full of character.
We’ve also held onto a few bottles from 2024 and 2020. If you’re curious to see how this Jonkershoek Valley blend changes with time, here’s your chance to taste the wines side by side.
And there’s another reason to look at the range: the 2025 Monk Stone Chenin Blanc has also scored 94 points, and we have 96 bottles available at £29.99.
Two wines. One exceptional valley. Both now available.
52% Roussanne, 27% Chenin Blanc, 11% Verdelho, 10% Viognier, Jonkershoek Valley
95 Points – Tim Atkin MW
“Vines close to the entrance of Stark-Condé’s ludicrously picturesque estate are the source of this brilliant white field blend, which has hit new heights of complexity in 2025. Roussanne- led with support from 27% Chenin Blanc, 11% Verdelho and 10% Viognier, it’s salty, savoury yet somehow refreshing with pear, lime and citrus flavours and aromas of musk and wet stones. 2026-33.” – Tim Atkin MW.
Explore the Field Blend Across Vintages
The 2025 has just arrived, but we also have a small number of earlier vintages tucked away in our cellar. For those who want to see what Stark-Condé’s Field Blend can become with a little time in bottle, the 2024 and 2020 vintages are still available.
Three vintages, one valley, and a chance to taste how the Field Blend develops over time.
100% Chenin Blanc, Jonkershoek Valley
94 Points – Tim Atkin MW
“Even more impressive when you learn that this comes from a six-year-old vineyard in the cool Jonkershoek Valley, this is a subtle, racy, refined expression of Chenin Blanc that has the raciness of a Sauvignon Blanc. Petrichor, jasmine and aniseed aromas segue into a palate of citrus, greengage and pink grapefruit embellished by 15% new oak. 2026-32.” – Tim Atkin MW.
