Critics Ratings

'Consistently one of the best sweet wines in the world, this tea-leafy, honeyed, orange peel-scented Muscat is rich and sweet, with 152 grams of sugar, some skin tannins, nutmeg and ginger spice and a weighty, dense texture. Long, complex and assured. Drink: 2015-25.' - Tim Atkin MW, SA Special Report 2015, 96/100

'The nose is pretty and entirely captivating - citrus, lilac, herbs, spice, even a little mint. The palate, meanwhile, shows pure fruit and zippy acidity - it's an extraordinarily vivid glass of wine - the finish suitably long without being astringent. Really classy.'- Christian Eedes, Winemag.co.za, 96/100 (2015)

'Iconic, ageworthy dessert from unbotrytised muscat de Frontignan aged in French & Hungarian oak (some new). 2011 generous & satisfying with silky texture, sweetness lifted by racy acidity. 3 years oaked vs 4 for also-tasted 2009, with similar candied orange, fynbos fragrance, vanilla fudge & glazed pineapple flavours. No 2010. Last tasted by us was 2008 (4.5 stars, 92 pts).' - Platter's SA Wine Guide, 5* (2016)
