Critics Ratings

‘Pioneering and still stand-out Semillon-Sauvignon blend, with some barrel fermentation/ageing. Unlike introverted 2009 (65% Sauvignon Blanc), 2010 has 59% Semillon. Reminiscent of Graves (Bordeaux), flint overlain with white peach, delicate ‘wet stone’ minerality.’ - Platter’s SA Wine Guide 2012, 4.5*
