Critics Ratings
‘From 29 year old elevated vineyard, authoritative 2014 composed and restrained with oatmeal and citrus interplay, taut mineral core and integrated oak. Natural ferment mostly in oak (70% new), 20% in concrete ‘egg’. For cellaring.’ - Platter’s SA Wine Guide 2016, 4.5* (92/100)
‘This is the best Chardonnay I’ve ever tasted from South Africa, sold at a price that should have people besieging retailers. Tangerine, understated oak, leesy texture, some baking spices and a spinal cord of acidity: this wouldn’t look out of place in a tasting of Grands Crus Burgundies. Sets a new benchmark for Cape Chardonnay.’ - Tim Atkin MW, SA Special Report 2015, 97/100
