Critics Ratings
'Singular blend, 30% each Viognier and Chenin, with Chardonnay and Grenache Blanc. 'More structural than flavour sensation' says Eben Sadie of the '06, and what a build! Waves of stonefruit woven into tingling minerality, bone-dry sensation to echoing length. Like previous vintages, it should mature well.' - Platter's SA Wine Guide 2008, 4.5*
'Rich but nervy, with a wide range of chamomile, orange blossom, white peach, green almond, salted butter and mineral notes. Really fleshes out with air, but also keeps its bracing edge all the way through.' - James Molesworth, Wine Spectator, 92/100 (May 2008)
