'A wine that more than lives up to its stylish packaging, this is a finely judged, modern Chenin Blanc with well integrated barrel fermentation, impressive richness of pear and greengage fruit and a hint of peachy sweetness. Drink: 2016-20' - Tim Atkin MW, SA Special Report 2016, 92/100
'Tangy 2015 exudes glacé pineapple, marzipan & sweet oak spice. Wood (some acacia) & fruit still negotiating roles in youth, but plenty of chenin concentration to ensure future harmony. 44 year old vines'- Platter's SA Wine Guide 2017, 4*
'This is in its infancy now, but it's remarkably refined and nuanced, showing great promise for evolution and development. Notes of melon rind, orange peel, lemon verbena and fresh fynbos fill the bouquet, while the palate offers more pithy citrus and green melon characters. It's well-balanced, with vibrant acidity and a fresh wet-stone minerality that endures through the long finish. It's hard to resist now, but it will continue to mature and hold well through 2024.' - Lauren Buzzeo, Wine Enthusiast, 92/100 (Apr 2018)
