Critics Ratings

'Medium to dark red colour that has that tinge of a brown edge of a well-matured wine. Ripe red fruit with nuances of spice and savouriness and a touch of forest floor. The palate is lively, more of the sweet red fruit that is so typical of Pinotage when it matures. Still some tannins on the mid palate, but compliments the elegant fruit that comes through the spiciness. Delightful soft aftertaste and lovely balance in the wine.' - Bennie Howard CWM (Mar 2023)
