Critics Ratings
'Made from vintages 2008-2014, fractionally blended solera-style (hence the 'pig Latin' name!). NV richly woven, with layered glacé pineapple, caramel, citrus peel & toasted hazelnuts; vast 260 g/l sugar is uncloying, with lovely freshness, piquancy & length at just 11% alcohol. A Bacchanalian masterpiece, deserved recipient of the inaugural Dessert Wine of the Year award.' - Platter's SA Wine Guide, 5* (2016)
'It is not the most unctuous wine, the most powerful and ostentatious, yet that precision in the finish is bewitching and worthy of what I think to date might the highest score I have ever awarded to a South African wine'. - Neil Martin, Wine Advocate, 99/100
