Critics Ratings
'SA classic, usually Semillon-based; vintage dictated. 2008 is the first with more Sauvignon Blanc (52%) - finer-boned, livelier in youth; with Semillon and oak (50% new) enrichment merely rumbling undertones, promising greater expression. Modest 13% alc.' - Platter's SA Wine Guide 2010, 5*
