Critics Ratings

'A new wine in Adi Badenhorst's range, this effectively replaces the Dassiekop Steen and was formerly a component of Family White. Floral, waxy and deftly oaked, with an intense minerality from granite soils and notes of apple and greengage. 2017-22' - Tim Atkin MW, SA Special Report 2017, 96/100

'Conjures up mouthwatering, buttery pastry and ripe apples. Rich and seriously delicious, has immense length.' - Nancy Gilchrist MW, Decanter.com, 94/100 (Oct 2017)

'From 50 year old single-vineyard named for golden granite soils, 2016 dazzles with ripe yellow fruit - pineapple, apple & quince - spiced up with cinnamon & aniseed. Creamy texture & excellent acidic vein run through to lengthy finish.' - Platter's SA Wine Guide 2018, 4.5* (93/100)

'Ripe and rounded in feel, featuring creamed pear and apple fruit flavors mixed with light heather, honey and brioche accents, providing a rich, yet fresh and focused, expression. Drink now through 2019.' - James Molesworth, Wine Spectator, 92/100 (Oct 2018)
