Critics Ratings

'It's always hard to pick a preferred wine between The Foundry's Roussanne and Grenache Blanc and this year it's a dead heat. With some oatmeal notes from partial malolactic, stony minerality, subtle oak and a pithy, tannic, spice-edged finish, this is very European in style. Drink 2016-20.' - Tim Atkin MW, SA Special Report 2016, 93/100

'From vineyard in south Stellenbosch, 2015 peach pip, green melon & oystershell minerality buoyed by bright acidity. Melange of perfumed lemon blossom, baked lemon flavours on this impressively textured stunner. No 2014.' - Platter's SA Wine Guide, 4.5*

'Granite soils, fermented in old oak, eight months on lees. Subtle but delightful perfume: blossom, maybe honeysuckle, nutty, stone fruit and pears. So complex. The same range on the palate. All that complexity lifted by a sour-fresh finish.' - Julia Harding MW, JancisRobinson.com, 16.5/20 (Oct 2017)
