Preferring to do things by hand and producing roughly only 1000 cases of each variety a year.

Critics Ratings

‘Single-vineyard, classic style 2015 shows cool-climate purity, vibrancy in its blackcurrant, herbal and cedar notes. Youthful tautness suggests 10+ year maturation. The fruit is perfectly ripe and persists with delicious savoury length. Stylish 20% new oak trim.‘ - Platter’s SA Wine Guide 2019, 4.5* (93/100)

‘There are slightly more Cabernet Sauvignons in the cool Hemel-en-Aarde Valley than you’d imagine (three to precise), but this is easily the best of the trio. Fresh, savoury and herbal with fine tannins, good structure and density and an artist’s use of wood ageing. 2020-28.’ - Tim Atkin MW, SA Special Report 2018, 95/100
