Critics Ratings
'Quite a deep honeyed character. Edgy and taut - really on an exciting tightrope of lime and honey ricocheting around the palate with a dry chalky finish. With such delicacy and well-judged acidity, plus fruit. Sophisticated dry wine from obviously well-scouted ingredients. What a talent! Long and so thrilling on the finish. The word tang was made for this wine. Such an impact on the palate.' - Jancis Robinson MW, JancisRobinson.com, 18/20 (May 2020)
'Grapes from a 2ha block in Paarl planted in 1960. Matured for 10 months in old oak. A haunting nose of citrus, peach, herbs and talcum powder. Once again, this wine impresses with how harmonious it is - pure fruit, coated acidity and great length. Intensely flavoured but remarkably light with no apparent gaps from entry through mid-palate to finish. "Effortless to make," says Van Loggerenberg as testament to the high quality of the fruit, and it shows.' - Christian Eedes, Winemag.co.za, 96/100 (Mar 2018)
'Kameraderie hails from a two-hectare vineyard on a combination of granite, sandstone and clay, planted in 1960. Picked twice for complexity and balance, it combines exotic, peachy notes with taut balancing acidity and a savoury bite. Another brilliant release from my young winemaker of the year. 2019-25.' - Tim Atkin MW, SA Special Report 2018, 95/100
'The fresh, vibrant bouquet presents orange blossom, vanilla pod and light yellow plum aromas that are beautifully defined. The palate is well balanced with a fine bead of acidity, quite sappy in style and full of tension. A touch of stem ginger and lemongrass lends complexity on the finish. Excellent.' - Neal Martin, Vinous, 93/100 (Aug 2018)
