Critics Ratings
‘Grown on iron rich koffieklip soils, Waterford’s top Shiraz is suitably dense, sappy and ferrous, with complex, stony grip, layers of red fruits and pepper spice and just a hint of wood. I can’t recall tasting a better bottling of this wine. Drink 2018-25.’ – Tim Atkin MW, SA Special Report 2017, 95/100
‘Subtitled ‘Nadine’, 2013 straddles flavour spectrum from peppery spice to earthy leather; velvety, with touches liquorice & fynbos on deep, concentrated finish. Dashes mourvèdre & grenache in the blend, 22 months old oak, then year in bottle. Also in 1.5, 3 & 5L.’ – Platter’s SA Wine Guide, 4.5* (91/100)
