Critics Ratings

2013 - 'Minimal intervention delivers a maximal taste experience: no pumps used, no enzymes, acid or yeasts added… The stellar 13 is refined, but rich, complex and earthy, with a taught minerality and judicious oak (33%) new oak. Delicious now and for many years.' - Platter's SA Wine Guide 2015, 5*

2014 - 'Master of Wine Richard Kershaw’s Chardonnay gets better with every vintage and is now one of the Cape’s oustanding whites. Using five sources of fruit, all of them in Elgin, this has greater leesy power than the 2013 - more Meursault than Puligny, as it were - but the same sure touch. Rich, complex yet supported by acidity, it’s mealy, subtle and complex, finishing with a mineral-edged flourish. Drink: 2015-20' - Tim Atkin SA Wine Report 2015, 96/100

2015 - 'First made as recently as 2011, this remarkable Chardonnay has established itself as one of the finest examples of the variety in the Cape. There’s slightly more malolactic in the 2015, but otherwise, the wine comes from the same eight sites and is made to a winning style. Leesy, spicy, tangy and complex, it’s a Cape Puligny-Montrachet. Drink: 2016-21' - Tim Atkin SA Wine Report 2016, 95/100
