Critics Ratings

'The Shiraz that makes up the bulk of this wine is bought in, but the remaining 41% of Cinsault, Grenache and Tinta Barocca is all from the farm. Showing the concentration of low yields in a drought year, this old wood-aged cuvée is still light on its feet, marrying red and black fruit flavours, some Mediterranean herbs and savoury tannins. 2021-28' - Tim Atkin MW, SA Special Report 2019, 94/100

'Light perfume, with red & darker fruit & ferrous savouriness on bright, vital 2017. Shiraz (59%), cinsaut, grenache, tinta. Foot-trodden whole bunches for light extraction. Lengthy period on skins accentuates elegant, notably dry tannins. Complex & satisfying. ' - Platter's SA Wine Guide 2020, 4.5* (93/100)
