About the SessionJust how well do modern-era South African wines perform as they get older ? One of the most important measures of great wine is that it should be age-worthy, that is it should become more pleasurable and more interesting to drink with time in the bottle.

Critics Ratings
'Starting with the 2013s, the 2013 Châteauneuf du Pape Renaissance Blanc (30% each of Grenache Blanc, Clairette and Roussanne, with 10% Bourboulenc) is a steely, mineral-driven effort that has plenty of citrus, pepper and crushed rock in its medium-bodied, juicy profile. Drink it over the coming 2-3 years.' - Jeb Dunnuck, Wine Advocate, 90/100 (Oct 2014)
'Light, bright yellow. Ripe nectarine and melon aromas are complimented by suggestions of chalky minerals, vanilla and honey, Fleshy pear nectar and peach liqueur flavors show very good clarity and thrust and convey a bracing citrus zest quality. Tightens up on the clinging finish, which repeats the lemon and mineral notes.' - Josh Raynolds, Vinous, 90/100 (Feb 2016)
