Critics Ratings
'Maintains uniquely remarkable record of five star ratings - It's never failed. Masterly 2015 blend transcends the three sites in triumph. Pure fruit integrated with succulent acidity, understated tannins & sensitive oaking in an elegant composition. Powerful yet demure.' - Platter's SA Wine Guide 2017, 5*
'A combination of Windansea (50%), Mrs M (30%) and Block 6 (20%), this is always more than the sum of its parts, a brilliant expression of the Upper Hemel-en-Aarde Valley. Floral, complex and well balanced, with some clover spice from 20% whole bunches, sweet red berry fruit and a long, savoury, complex finish. Drink: 2016-21' - Tim Atkin SA Wine Report 2016, 96/100
