Critics Ratings

'Since 2009 from Voor Paardeberg fruit, a SA benchmark. Delicate 2015 our White Wine of the Year. Subtle lemon cream, green pineapple aromas & a soupçon of spice. Seamless, bright & pure, with a rounded mouthfeel thanks to judicious oaking (7 months, older French). Refined, mineral 2014 (4.5 stars, 94 pts) had 5% roussanne.' - Platter's SA Wine Guide, 5* (99/100)

'W.O. Voor Paardeberg. Fermented and matured for seven months in older French oak barrels. Yellow apple, stone fruit and green melon plus some leesy complexity on the nose. The palate appears sweet-fruited and quite plump (RS is 5.1g/l) though there's also fresh acidity lending verve - impossible not to like.' - Christian Eedes, Winemag.co.za, 91/100
