Critics Ratings

'A blend of Semillon Blanc, Semillon Gris, Chenin Blanc, Palomino and Muscat, the 2015 Old Vine Series T Voetpad has a strict, linear bouquet that needed the most encouragement from the glass out of all Eben's 2015s. The palate is beautifully balanced and packed full of flavor: orange rind, bitter lemon, sea salt, lanolin and a touch of hazelnut, fanning out beautifully towards the finish that demonstrates superb vigor. This is a blistering follow-up to the 2014 and two minutes after the wine has departed, you can still feel the mouth tingling with salinity.' - Neal Martin, Wine Advocate, 97/100 (Apr 2017)

'Field blend from one of SA's oldest vineyards. Near-equal chenin, semillon & palomino with 6% muscat produce generous, expressive & remarkably textured 2015. Like 2014 (5 stars, 98 pts), rich, with complex flavours focused by precise acidity & attractive pithiness. Year well-seasoned foudre.' - Platter's SA Wine Guide 2017, 4.5*

'A Swartland field blend of Chenin Blanc, Muscat, Palomino, Semillon and Semillon Gris, planted in stages from 1900 to 1928. The 2015 has a captivating nose of pear, peach and citrus plus dried herbs and a certain talcum-powder-like quality. The palate is quite beautiful - pure, fresh and textured. Nothing exaggerated about it, while the finish is extraordinarily long. It's both immediately appealing and entirely intellectually satisfying. Pretty close to complete.' - Christian Eedes, Winemag.co.za, 96/100 (Aug 2016)
