Critics Ratings

'Adds origin to name since last-tasted 2012 (4 stars, 87 pts) ex Jonkershoek; 2015 full-bodied yet elegant with restrained fruit, lively tannins boding well. 16 months larger oak, 50% new.' - Platter's SA Wine Guide, 5* (95/100)

'Located close to the farm from which Chris Alheit gets his Radio Lazarus Chenin Blanc, this Bottelary red is made from 25-year-old vines. Aged in older wood, it's floral and intense with bramble and raspberry fruit and fine-boned tannins. 2018-23' - Tim Atkin MW, SA Special Report 2017, 93/100

'The nose is particularly enticing with notes of cherries, plums, fynbos, earth and spice. The palate is relatively medium bodied and well structured - fruit which is pure and sweet in the best sense, lovely fresh acidity and fine tannins. Possessing real depth of flavour and a finish that's long and savoury, it's one of the best judged expressions of the variety currently out there.' - Christian Eedes, Winemag.co.za, 95/100 (Jan 2018)
