Critics Ratings
'The cool climate conditions of the Hemel-en-Aarde Ridge are ideal for growing sparkling wine grapes, yet this is one of the very few examples of the style. Pale, subtle and scented, Sharon Parnell's Pinot-dominated fizz is elegant, red-fruited and dry. 2017-19' - Tim Atkin MW, SA Special Report 2017, 92/100
'Classically crafted 2010 sparkling, pinot noir-led with chardonnay, has more substance than 2009 (3 stars, 81 pts). Subtle crushed berries on brioche, with creamy mousse & textured finish. Walker Bay WO.' - Platter's SA Wine Guide 2017, 4*
