Critics Ratings
‘Violet whiffs seduce while the broad, dry & intense palate continues the affair. 2013 expressive, nuanced, layered & integrated; dry, fine tannin grip. Swartland fruit joins Wellington, as in 2012 (5 stars, 96 pts). 25 months old oak. Natural ferment, 20% whole bunches.’– Platter's SA Wine Guide, 4.5*
‘Vivid and ripe, with lush blueberry compote and plum sauce flavors streaming forth, backed by spice cake and black tea notes. Offers a deftly toasted finish. Pure hedonism.’ – James Molesworth, Wine Spectator, 91/100 (May 2016)
