Critics Ratings

'The first wine to be blended by the 'new' team in 2012, further time in bottle has added complexity on the palate. Intensely aromatic with a medium-burnished gold hue and nutty, clove and honeysuckle/jasmine notes on the nose. Acidity is more prominent here but cuts through the richness, with mellow oak and orange-marmalade zest on the finish. A highly impressive Vin de Constance with 150g/l rs which is in great shape for further maturation. Drinking Window 2020 - 2040.’ - Andy Howard MW, Decanter.com, 97/100 (2020)

‘Iconic dessert from unbotrytised muscat de Frontignan. Rich & satisfying 2008 offers fragrant aromas of candied orange peel, faint scent of fynbos. Warm alcohol asserts on entry, then unctuous flavours of toffee apples & glazed pineapples. 54 months 60% new oak, French & Hungarian.’ - Platter’s SA Wine Guide, 4.5* (2015)
