Critics Ratings
'Very direct and compelling nose with many different elements. Heady, quite rich, and very accessible already. Really lifted and subtle. Lovely undertow. Good, confident, lightly bitter, persistent, smoky finish.' - Jancis Robinson MW, JancisRobinson.com, 17.5/20 (July 2022)
'Driven by old-vine Paardeberg Chenin Blanc, with the other 51% made up of Clairette Blanche, Semillon, Grenache Blanc, Roussanne, Verdelho, Viognier, Marsanne and Colombard, this is a seamless cuvée from David and Nadia Sadie that''s enjoying its twelfth release. Spicy and perfumed, with subtle skin contact tannins, nuanced oak and wax, pear, peach and lemongrass flavours.' - Tim Atkin MW, SA Special Report 2022, 93/100
'Chenin reigns at 49% in complex blend with clairette, semillon, grenache blanc, roussanne, verdelho, viognier, marsanne & colombard. Chrysalis of 2021 unfurls to reveal vivid array of lemon zest, soft dried apple & white pepper. Focused, defined, dry & long.' - Platter's SA Wine Guide 2023, 5* (95pts)
