Critics Ratings

'Pristine fruit on finessed 2015, light tannic hold & freshness from 15% wholebunch & portion aged in older oak. Like 2014 (4 stars, 88 pts), delivers great presence without obvious power.' - Platter's SA Wine Guide, 4.5* (92/100)

'W.O. Stellenbosch. 15% whole bunch fermentation. 40% matured for five months in older French oak barrels, the rest in tank before blending and another five months in concrete. A top note of fynbos before red and black fruit, earth and spice. Medium bodied with pure fruit, fresh acidity and a pleasantly grippy tannins - has a nice "crunch" to it.' - Christian Eedes, Winemag.co.za, 91/100

'This opens with a gorgeous, highly aromatic nose reminiscent of purple flower fields partnered with ripe raspberry, blueberry and blackberry. The fruit-forward palate offers more berry goodness, with a velvety tannic structure and enough acidity to enliven the finish.' - Lauren Buzzeo, Wine Enthusiast, 90/100 (Jan 2018)
