Critics Ratings
'Uniquely remarkable record of five star ratings - it has never failed. Low yields in 2014 meant all the fruit from the farm's top three sites combined here, with no single vineyard bottlings. As always, a triumph of subtle insistence; pure fruit integrated with succulent acidity, understated tannins and sensitive oaking in an elegant composition. Its power belies its demure demeanour.' - Platter's SA Wine Guide 2016, 5*
'The Family Vineyards bottling combines the three single estate wines in a blend that is consistently among the best Pinots in the Cape. Aromatic, refined and beautifully framed, it has subtle oak, sweet red fruits, more tannin than you think and a tangy, savoury, refreshing finish.' - Tim Atkin MW, SA Special Report 2015, 94/100
