Critics Ratings

'All sourced from warmer north and north-west facing blocks at 130 metres, this is very much a riper, fleshier style of Merlot, framed by scented 40% new oak and showing flavours of plum, fresh tobacco and blueberry.' - Tim Atkin MW, SA Special Report 2020, 92/100

'The 2015 Merlot Reserve sees 16 months in barrel with 40% new oak. This has quite a minty bouquet with dark chocolate infusing the dark berry fruit. The palate is medium-bodied with a supple entry, certainly cleaner and better balanced than most Cape Merlots with a supple, slightly peppery finish. Fine. 2022-2030' - Neal Martin, Vinous (Aug 2022)
