Critics Ratings

'Famously made from a vineyard surrounded by gum trees, which was replanted after the 2014 harvest, this wine does what it says on the label. Pure cassis and eucalyptus fruit, with a hint of menthol, good oak integration and refreshing acidity are supplemented by dense, filigree tannins. Drink: 2015-22' - Tim Atkin MW, SA Special Report 2013, 94/100

'Signature mint & dark chocolate notes on'12 combine nicely with fresh black plums & cherries. Lovely ripe tannins & a savoury tweak at finish suggests endless food-matching possibilities.' - Platter's SA Wine Guide 2016, 4*
