Critics Ratings
'100% Robertson chardonnay for the superb flagship sparkler, always showing presence & poise; 2012 dry, with intense citrus & buttered toast palate from 5 years lees ageing. The mousse is velvety, mouthfilling & never-ending. For really special occasions.' - Platter's SA Wine Guide 2019, 4.5* (94/100)
'The latest in a run of brilliant Cuvée Clives, this is made only with lightly wooded Chardonnay from Robertson for the first time, proving Pieter Ferreira's point that there is "no recipe" for this icon bubbly. Still tight, despite its five years on lees, this is savoury, yeasty and complex with a spine of bracing acidity. 2019-26' - Tim Atkin MW, SA Special Report 2018, 95/100
