Critics Ratings

'Still quite introvert and youthful but clearly unlike any single-varietal wine. Firm, deep-flavoured with the structure to last.' - Jancis Robinson MW, JancisRobinson.com, 17+/20 (Jun 2022)

'Step-change in 2016, tighter, tenser than previous, will unwind slowly over ±10 years. Steely & precise, with striking purity, umami nuance, tremendous presence. Chenin with 10 other varieties fermented/aged year on lees in concrete 'eggs' & clay amphora, then year older foudres.' - Platter's SA Wine Guide 2019, 5* (96/100)

'Broad and lush in feel, featuring creamed melon, pear and yellow apple fruit flavors, framed by warm meringue, white ginger and brioche notes. The long finish flows nicely, with a flicker of acacia lingering. Chenin Blanc. Drink now through 2022.' - James Molesworth, Wine Spectator, 93/100 (May 2019)

'Eben Sadie rates this white blend as the best of his current releases. Made with ten different cultivars and dipping below 14% alcohol for the first time, it's an orchestra rather than a solo instrument. Elegant and refined, with no wood at all, this is an harmonious cuvée with beeswax, tarte tatin, orange zest and pear flavours. 2019-24' - Tim Atkin MW, SA Special Report 2018, 96/100
