Critics Ratings

From two Franschhoek vineyards, one planted in 1942 and the other in 1962. A complex nose with notes of fynbos, apple, naartjie, green melon, hay, wax and oatmeal while the palate has good fruit density, nicely integrated acidity and a gently savoury finish. That much more compact and balanced than the previous vintage.' - Christian Eedes, Winemag.co.za, 94/100 (Oct 2020)

'Whole bunch pressed and made without malolactic, this Franschhoek Semillon is all about precision and focus. Leesy, herbal, layered and complex, with notes of dill and citrus peel, reassuring depth and complexity and a fresh, oyster shell finish. 2022-26.' - Tim Atkin MW, SA Special Report 2021, 93/100
