Critics Ratings
'From a high-lying young inland (Elandskloof) vineyard, 14 from all destemmed grapes. Concentrated & refined, marrying pure red berry fruit with spicy oak & long velvety exit. Well-judged oaking on all these pinots.' - Platter's SA Wine Guide 2016, 4.5*
'Intense and interesting. Edgy but with masses of fine fruit in the middle. All within a herbal wreath. So much intensity and ambition from Andrew and Peter-Allan Finlayson. Really exciting!' - Jancis Robinson (September 2016), 17.5/20
