Critics Ratings

'Internationally acclaimed as one of SA’s top reds. 2014 adds cinsaut to usual shiraz, mourvèdre, grenache blend; while denser than light & subtle 2013 (92 pts), still exhibits hallmark elegance & purity, fine texture & delicate grip.' - Platter's SA Wine Guide 2017, 4.5*

'Medium ruby-red. Deep aromas of blackberry, olive tapenade, botanical herbs, lavender, spices, licorice and savory minerality. Plush but firm on the palate, displaying terrific energy and shape to the flavors of dark berries, black pepper, wild herbs and spices. With its wonderfully even, fine-grained tannins and outstanding saline persistence, this savory wine is already compulsively drinkable. Really stains the palate with purple fruits, spices and red flowers. I find this much easier to understand than the 2013 was two years ago but its distinct firmness suggests that it will evolve slowly. Really stands out for its energy and lift and for its almost Pinot-like weight.' - Neal Martin, Vinous, 95/100 (Apr 2017)

“We are very proud of this wine,” says Eben Sadie, and rightly so. The Syrah component of this iconic wine has decreased every year and now stands at 50%, complemented by Mourvèdre, Grenache, Cinsault and Tinta Barocca. It’s a very nuanced, elegant wine, with subtle bramble and blackberry fruit, stony minerality, nuanced oak and undertones of aromatic fynbos. Drink: 2016-24' - Tim Atkin SA Wine Report 2016, 96/100
