Critics Ratings
‘Iconic Cabernet-Syrah since 88, still one of Cape’s jewels. Dense, concentrated black fruit on 2015 (with 9% Merlot) shows layers of complexity and detail: heady fynbos, taut earthiness, supple texture. Beautifully crafted for cellaring, like 2014 (4.5 stars, 92 points). Larger formats up to 27L available.’ – Platter’s SA Wine Guide 2019, 5* (95 points)
‘Estate is a red blend taken from across the slope of the Helderberg. Marrying Cabernet Sauvignon and Syrah with 9% Merlot, it’s a superb wine from a truly great vintage. Damson, cassis and tobacco leaf notes, tangy acidity and filigree tannins: what’s not to like. 2022-30.’ - Tim Atkin MW, SA Special Report 2018, 94/100
