Critics Ratings

‘This is an excellent matured and balanced fortified wine, golden-green in colour. The wine shows aromas of caramel, hazel nuts, and potpourri on the nose. The palate is creamy but still lively with nuances of raisins. The delicate, soft tannin structure leaves this wine with a luscious, smooth finish. Notably, this wine was bottled prior to the introduction of SAWIS certification and mandatory declaration of alcohol.’ - KWV
