Critics Ratings

'Single-vineyard chenin from Montagu, Old-World styling of 2015 echoes maiden 2014 (4.5 stars, 93 pts), shows similar restraint. There’s lemon, tantalising stonefruit, almonds, earthy notes, all interwoven into a fine-boned beauty. Chenin as an aristocrat.' - Platter's SA Wine Guide 2017, 5*

'A delicious follow up to the maiden 2014, which was my discovery of the year in last year’s report, this comes from isolated Montagu and is grown at over 500 metres. More focused than the 2014, it’s a very complex, vigorous Chenin, unfurling flavours of clove and pepper spice, subtle oak, stony minerality, baking spices and green apple. Drink: 2016-20' - Tim Atkin MW, SA Special Report 2016, 95/100

'The 2015 is a step-up from the stellar 2014, showing an unbelievable array of dried fruits, minerality, savoury complexity and phenomenal length. Produced naturally and raised in older oak, it is wonderfully rich and yet deftly poised. This old vine Chenin Blanc has fast become one of South Africa’s finest.' - Christian Eedes, Winemag.co.za, 94/100
