Critics Ratings
'100% Sauvignon Blanc. Grapes harvested in three batches. Extended lees contact after fermentation. Struck-match reduction before citrus and blackcurrant. The palate is forceful with great depth of fruit and big acidity. Still remarkably youthful.' - WineMag.co.za 2013 Vintage report (March 2023), 92/100
'Elegant, poised 2013 is ripe & round, with appealing twist of nettle & khaki bush spicing gooseberry & granadilla fruit. Generous body & finish, with moderate 13% alcohol.' - Platter's SA Wine Guide 2015, 4*
