Critics Ratings
'Faith is the top wine at Beyerskloof and is an almost equal blend of Pinotage, Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot. Packaged in an appropriately heavy bottle, it's a very impressive release in 2015, combining toasty oak, mint and tobacco aromas, refreshing acidity and layers of tannin and bramble, raspberry and blackcurrant fruit. 2021-27'- Tim Atkin MW, SA Special Report 2019, 93/100
'Stellar Cape Blend from standout vintage, 2015 is pinotage (34%), equal cab & merlot. Balances power & restraint, displays elegance & finesse with flavours of ripe red & black fruit, supportive structure & dash of spice from 100% new oak, 21 months.' - Platter's SA Wine Guide 2020, 5*, 96/100
