Critics Ratings
'For over a decade, squarely in the vanguard of SA claret blends pursuing international form and class. Individual, neither new wave nor Old World, rather its own style. Intense competition annually for allocation. Lighter '96 vintage reflected in restrained style - no rooftop shouting here… fantastic fleshy fruit already peering out from behind nerve-tingling structure.' Platter's SA Wine Guide 2001, 4*
