Critics Ratings
‘Bordeaux white blend with 75% Sauvignon Blanc, drops the new oak to 40% (versus 50% previously) but retains its pedigree in 2014. Stately, with impressive purity of fruit, vibrancy and poise; lingering quince finish from Semillon component.’ - Platter’s SA Wine Guide 2016, 4.5*
‘Using fruit from some of the highest blocks on the farm, this marries Sauvignon with 25% Semillon, and is consistently one of the best Bordeaux white blends in the Cape. Creamy lees, pink grapefruit, toasty oak, some struck match and a crunchy, celery-like note.’ - Tim Atkin SA Special Report 2015, 94/100
