Critics Ratings
'Reflects the sheathed power of a classic vintage in 2015. Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Franc lead in a five-way assembly from 4 pockets around Stellenbosch. Tight, toned and muscular structure restrains core of dark fruit and cocoa. Complexity and intensity in sync with alcohol.' - Platter's SA Wine Guide 2020, 4.5* (94/100)
'Chris Keet isn't well known outside South Africa - he's a modest, quietly spoken soul - but he's one of the Cape's finest oenologists, first at Cordoba and now at his own winery. Produced in what he calls a "humdinger vintage", this is the best release yet. Sourced from eight sites across Stellenbosch, it's a seamless blend of the five Bordeaux varieties: classic, refined, nuanced and refreshing with silky tannins and near-perfect balance' - Tim Atkin MW, SA Special Report 2019, 97/100
