Critics Ratings
‘Rijk’s make some of the best Pinotages in the country, expressing the intensity of Tulbagh’s terroir in wines like this inky, profound, polished example. The oak is deftly handled, the fruit plush, smooth and floral with raspberry and bramble dominating the palate. 2020-26’ - Tim Atkin MW, SA Special Report 2018, 94/100
