Critics Ratings

'Light red colour only just starting to fade into garnet on appearance. Herbal nuance to root beer and red fruit. The palate is amazingly youthful, showing off bright fruit with the sweet herbs and tilled earth. Light and elegant, showing off the cool vintage, with earthy notes accentuated by the wet conditions. Ready to be enjoyed, with legs to keep further comfortably.' - Higgo Jacobs (Feb 2022)

'Soft earthy spice and sweet cured-bacon aromas are at the front of the bouquet here, with supporting fruit tones of brambly berries, wild strawberry, peach pit, fruit cake, sweet smoke and rooibos. There's a real mélange of aromas and flavors here, just stunning, with more nuance and complexity discovered with each sniff and sip. Bright, snappy red berry fruits abound on the palate, while hints of sous bois, tree bark and cocoa nib unfold on the close. It's medium in weight, well-composed and balanced, with a smooth, suave and silky texture.' - Wine Enthusiast Magazine, 94/100 and Editor's Choice
