Critics Ratings
'All vintages from maiden '75 through to '84 have been awarded Superior ratings. In lighter-to-medium bodied style, with delicacy and complexity of first-rate Cabernet; but not in the dense, blackcurrant and billowing vanilla vogue of some new world Cabernets. '83 fair with intriguing wild bouquet. Cabernets here reflect cooling maritime influence of nearby (4-5km) False Bay. Harvested 2-3 weeks later than hotter inland areas.' - Platter's SA Wine Guide 1989
