Critics Ratings

'Field blend Chenin, Semillon, and Palomino, with splash Muscat d'Alexandrie from isolated century-old vineyard. Charmingly rich and voluptuous 2013 boasts expressive ripe red apple flavours underpinned by remarkable minerality and soft citrus twist.' - Platter's SA Wine Guide 2015, 4.5*

'A co-fermented blend of Chenin, Semillon (both Blanc and Gris), Muscat and Palomino, of all things, this comes from a vineyard that's more than 100 years old. Softer and riper than some of Sadie's wines, with flavours of stone fruit, melon and grape sweetness underpinned by acidity.' - Tim Atkin MW, SA Special Report 2014, 96/100

'Tasted blind. Greenish straw. Herbal and understated. Comes billowing up aromatically. Much wilder than most of these wines but with a great panoply of feral, often floral, aromas. Bright and tense on the palate with the promise of long development ahead. The Chenin is discernible along with some mildly bitter herbs. A great tensile blend without any flab. No simple sweet grapiness as a result of the Muscat of Alexandria. Builds on the finish. Marked acidity and energy. Could only be South African!' - Jancis Robinson MW, JancisRobinson.com, 18/20 (Sept 2015)
