Critics Ratings
'Bright gold. Lightly reductive nose, round and supple. Lower acidity than the Chenins. Well made and very smooth - polished. Long and quite emphatic.' - Jancis Robinson MW, JancisRobinson.com, 16.5/20 (July 2019)
-Where do David and Nadia Sadie find the time and energy to do the 20 pickings from the 14 vineyards that go into this stunning white blend of mostly Chenin Blanc with Clairette, Semillon, Roussanne, Viognier and Marsanne? Early picked for freshness, it's a seamless, layered blend with aniseed, umami, wild herb and citrus fruit and wonderful focus and poise.' - Tim Atkin MW, SA Special Report 2019, 95/100
