Critics Ratings

‘Refined understatement in stellar 2012, reflecting minimal but careful crafting (of Dijon clones CY95, CY96 and CY76), allowing fine acidity, minerality and judicious oak (40% new) to perfectly frame and support citrus and white peach fruit. Precise and classy. Delicious now and for many years.’ - Platter’s SA Wine Guide 2014, 5*

‘English Master of Wine, Richard Kershaw, has produced one of South Africa’s best Chardonnays at only his second attempt, harnessing Dijon clones to make a refined, deftly oaked pear, citrus and orange peel-like white. This is a brilliant wine that wouldn’t look out of place in a line-up of Puligny Premiers Crus.’ - Tim Atkin SA Special Report 2014, 95/100
