Critics Ratings
'Semillon, Chenin Blanc, Palomino and Muscat d'Alexandrie all from a tiny 105-year old vineyard, fermented together. Hovers between fruity, earthy and savoury, challenging the senses, but 2011's appeal is beyond dispute, smoothly rounded, balanced, ultra long.' - Platter's SA Wine Guide 2013, 4.5*
'A remarkable blend of mostly Semillon and Chenin, with a dash of Semillon Gris, Muscat and Palomino. This comes from a small parcel of vines planted in 1928 and cropped at 8 hectolitres per hectare. Savoury, sappy and complex, with a hint of grape skin bitterness adding extra structure to what is a rich, mealy, spicy white. The finish is bright, almost saline. Drink 2013-22.' - Tim Atkin SA Special Report 2013, 95/100
'Organic, dry-farmed 1.4ha vineyard on own rootstocks, planted between 1900 and 1928. Nine-month natural fermentation gives a savoury, mineral nutty and waxy palate. Intense concentration of juicy citrus peel, honey and papaya. Very long.' - Tina Gellie, Decanter, 95/100
