Critics Ratings

'12 (4.5*) from 71% Sauvignon Blanc, 29% Semillon has good palate weight, coated acidity. Lots going on including notes of peach & tangerine, hint of spice. Better balanced & hence that much more convincing than 11.' - Platter's SA Wine Guide 2014, 4.5*

'The 2012 Two is a blend of 71% Sauvignon Blanc and 29% Semillon that is fermented in barrel. It has a vivacious, almost shimmering bouquet with fresh lime, white peach and minerals. Just give it 30 minutes aeration and it attains an almost crystalline delineation. The palate is supremely well-balanced with the two varieties working in harmony - the Sauvignon lending the malic bite while the Semillon lends fatness and resinous tones toward the focused finish that will leave you wanting another sip. This is just a top-class Sauvignon blend. Bravo. Drink now-2017.' - Neal Martin, Wine Advocate (October 2013), 90/100
