Critics Ratings

Donkiesbaai Hooiwijn 2014:
‘Rich & unctuous 2014 barrel-fermented chenin, dried on straw (’hooi’) mats for a concentrated, lively mouthful of honey, dried apricots, butter & cream. Nicely balanced acidity offsets substantial sweetness for cheese or dessert. Ex Piekenierskloof, like 2013 (4 stars, 89 pts).’ - Platter's SA Wine Guide 2016, 4.5*

‘This dessert wine features pure mango and papaya notes gliding along, with sweet but fresh hints of pineapple, heather and ginger adding nuance through the finish. This has the energy to match the display of tropical fruit. Chenin Blanc. Drink now through 2020.’ – James Molesworth, Wine Spectator, 91/100 (Jun 2015)

Kanu Kia-Ora Noble Late Harvest 1999:
‘Bursts with enticing apricot, orange peel and maple sugar aromas and flavors. Shows good cut on the finish, where the citrus note lingers. Made from Hárslevelü. Drink now through 2003.’ – James Molesworth, Wine Spectator, 90/100 (Oct 2001)
