Critics Ratings

'Distinguished from Private Cellar and Touch of Oak versions by more new oak. Classy 2009 true to variety, with plush dark fruit, whiff banana, tightly coiled structure and measured tannins. Juicy and well composed, with enough substance to reward extended further cellaring.' - Platter's SA Wine Guide 2014, 5*   ABSA Top 10 Pinotage
