Critics Ratings
'Exceptional expression of pure Stellenbosch Chenin, 2020 improves on lofty record of 2019 (4.5 stars, 94 pts) and previous. 50% spent 11 months in seasoned 300L oak, adding to richness and weight. Refined, complex and detailed yet eminently drinkable. From 40+ year old vines; certified as Wine of Western Cape.' - Platter's SA Wine Guide 2019, 5* (95/100)
'Pale, refined and elegant, this is a 50/50 blend of wooded and stainless steel components, with pure green apple and citrus fruit flavours, hints of beeswax, fennel and saffron and a dusting of baking spices. 2019-25.'- Tim Atkin MW, SA Special Report 2018, 93/100
