Critics Ratings

'Coppery brilliance on skin-fermented Semillon Blanc and Gris. 2015 pure, focused, and textured; mere whiffs of honey, orange peel. Densely layered and bone-dry, demands time & food.' - Platter's SA Wine Guide 2017, 4*

'Tin Soldier wasn't made in 2014, but it's back with all flags flying in 2015, marrying Semillon Gris and Semillon Blanc from the Swartland and Franschhoek. A little skin contact adds colour and tannin here, but avoids being "the full orange", according to John Seccombe. Orange peel, dried herbs and a bitter twist are supported by remarkable freshness, focus and minerality.' - Tim Atkin MW, SA Special Report 2016, 93/100
