Critics Ratings
'Has house's fine acidity, deft touch new oak (22%) and subtle flavours. 2018 more citrus toned than previous stonefruit and oatmeal; attractive oxidative notes and saline conclusion. Barrel fermented/aged 8 months on lees.' - Platter's SA Wine Guide 2020, 4.5* (93/100)
'Planted with the CY95 clone on an outcrop of shale at the top of the Vrede block, this is a low-yielding site that makes wines that combine weight with freshness and acidity. Stylishly oaked and naturally fermented, it has the leesy complexity and texture of a top Meursault Perrières. 2020-26.' - Tim Atkin MW, SA Special Report 2019, 94/100
