Critics Ratings
2009 - ‘Arresting 2009 is a worthy successor to dazzling 2008 (5 stars); pristine lemon and lime fruit toned by nutty oatmeal, elegant waves of mineral flavour fatten slightly in seemingly endless tail. Natural yeasts, adroitly oaked for 9 months in 45% new French barrels.’ - Platter’s SA Wine Guide 2011, 4.5*
2010 - ‘2010 is a sleeper: toned lemon and lime fruit nurtured by fine oak in youth, will unfurl in polished, chic splendour given a year or two. Wild yeast fermented in French barrels, 45% new.’ - Platter’s SA Wine Guide 2012, 4.5*
2011 - ‘A keeper: toned citrus fruit, cosseted by fine oak in youth, unfurls splendidly given a year or two. 2011 is a tad quieter than super 2010 (4.5 stars). Wild yeast fermented in French cask, 40% new.’ - Platter’s SA Wine Guide 2013, 4*
