Critics Ratings

'As its name suggests, this comes from a vineyard at 393 metres, located on the De Trafford farm. Intense, savoury and concentrated, as this producer's wines tend to be, with some spice from 5% whole bunches, compact tannins and the grip of a Cornas from the northern Rhône. Drink 2020-28.' - Tim Atkin MW, SA Special Report 2018, 94/100

'Vibrant red & dark fruit, spice & white pepper in 2015, seriously oaked (40% new, 21 months) to reward time in bottle. In full-bodied house style of recent vintages, with savoury nuances, but touch less alcohol (15% vs 15.5%). Also in magnum, like Elevation & Perspective.' - Platter's SA Wine Guide, 4.5* (93/100)
