Critics Ratings

'Eben Sadie's pure Cinsault has done wonders for the reputation of this under-rated variety in the Cape. Fermented in concrete and large wooden foudres with 100% whole bunches, this is fine and refreshing, with damson and black cherry fruit and more acidity than the 2013 release. Drink: 2015-20' - Tim Atkin SA Wine Report 2015, 95/100

'From 48-year-old vine Cinsault grown on slate soils, the 2014 Old Vine Series Pofadder has an extremely pure bouquet, less tertiary than the 2014 Soldaat (grown on decomposed sandstone), with touches of pressed flowers infusing the fresh strawberry and redcurrant fruit. With aeration, there is an intriguing incense/potpourri note. The palate is taut and crisp, brimming over with tension and extremely focused with slightly more brittle tannins than the Soldaat - lending the chalky-textured finish fine symmetry, albeit without quite the same sustain. It might sound odd, but it tastes fabulous.' - RobertParker.com 93/100
