Critics Ratings

'Made from own vineyards that survived the fire and what a triumph it is. Matured for 11 months in 500-litre barrels, 40% new. The nose shows white peach, citrus and some struck-match reduction while the palate shows extraordinary concentration and well-integrated acidity before a super-long finish. It's wonderfully well realized, possessing plenty of depth without sacrificing focus.' - Christian Eedes, Winemag.co.za, 97/100

'The 2020 Chardonnay Reserve Estate is the only Reserve wine whose fruit survived the wildfire in 2018. It has a glorious bouquet that is Premier Cru Burgundy in quality, featuring wonderful, brilliantly delineated scents of citrus lemon and orange blossom and hints of black currant leaf. The palate is extremely well balanced, displaying wonderful poise allied with impressive concentration. There's real depth and substance on the finish (where others have lacked in this vintage). An outstanding, world-class Chardonnay. 2022-2042' - Neal Martin, Vinous, 95/100 (Jul 2021)
