Critics Ratings

'Unfined and unfiltered, 24 months on lees, half in older barrels. Chenin Blanc-led 9-part blend, mainly Rhône whites, 2011 is complex. A symphony of notes, major and minor, ending satisfyingly long. Take your time, it's worth it.' - Platter's SA Wine Guide 2014, 5*

'Engaging, with green plum and green almond notes up front,quickly followed by enticing pear, meringue and makrut lime flavors. Picks up a light toasty shortbread accent through the finish, giving this a flattering edge. Chenin Blanc, Grenache Blanc, Clairette Blanc, Viognier, Chardonnay, Roussanne, Sémillon and Palomino.' - James Molesworth, Wine Spectator, 93/100 (Jun 2014)

'Pale gold. Blend of 10(!) different grape varieties! Sweet start and then some Chenin tension. Lots of youthful fruit to get your teeth into here even though the wine is four years old. Some reductive smokiness. Good and racy. Very complex and lifted blend of flowers and herbs - very quintessential Cape. Super-tangy with some bitterness. Probably not yet at its peak.' - Jancis Robinson MW, JancisRobinson.com, 17/20 (Sept 2015
