Critics Ratings

'One of the leaders of the minimal intervention/oxidative pack. 2016 from Paardeberg vines (oldest planted 1960s) has hallmark ethereal white peach & pear tones, trademark dryness & profundity. Scintillating 2015 (5 stars, 95 pts) had hidden depths & sheathed power.' - Platter's SA Wine Guide 2018, 4.5* (93/100)

'From six different vineyards ranging from 39 to 45 years old. Pear, peach, floral fragrance and some gravel road dustiness on the nose. Concentrated fruit and fresh acidity. Lovely presence and poise. Seamlessly assembled.' - Christian Eedes, Winemag.co.za, 94/100 (Jun 2017)

'Even the "basic" Chenin Blanc from the Sadies comes from 35-49-year-old vines, sourced from a total of six vineyards on granite, shale, iron and clay soils. Light, refreshing and bone dry, it's an impressive, unirrigated Chenin with pear tart and citrus flavours and bracing acidity. 2018-23.'- Tim Atkin MW, SA Special Report 2017, 93/100

'A real beauty! Aromas of pears and stewed apple. Concentrated flavours enhanced by light oak give a really satisfying weight and length.' - Nancy Gilchrist MW, Decanter.com, 93/100
