Critics Ratings

'This is really spicy on the nose, more rocky and mineral. Real tension here, arrow-like at the core but clothed in non-sweet lemony fruit depth. This has so much tension and some grip in the texture. Less creamy but very fruity, more peppery on the finish. Becoming very scented on the nose. Not the same concentration as in 2011 and 2014 but more minerally and direct.' - Julia Harding MW, JancisRobinson.com, 17/20 (Jul 2018)

'The 2013 Cartology Bush Vines is a blend of 88% Chenin Blanc and 12% Semillon. The bouquet is very well-defined with great clarity, very reminiscent of the 2011, opening up with aeration to reveal subtle scents of lemon curd, apricot, honeysuckle and Mirabelle. The palate is well-balanced, harmonious in the mouth, everything understated at first, but it builds nicely toward a taut, saline finish. This seems more aligned to the 2012 than the 2011 and it deserves at least one or two years in bottle. Succinct is the word that comes to mind - and that is not an easy attribute to instill into a wine.' - Neal Martin, Wine Advocate, 93/100 (Oct 2014)

'Another delicious wine, combining old vine Chenin with 8% Semillon to brilliant effect. Apple, quince and a mealy intensity combine on the palate surfing a wave of concentration, skin tannins and refreshing acidity. Drink: 2014-20.' - Tim Atkin MW, SA Special Report 2014, 95/100
