Critics Ratings

'Maintains a uniquely remarkable record of five star ratings - it's never failed. If Mrs M needs some muscle and Windansea some finesse, and Block 6 perhaps a brush of both, the masterly 2015 blend transcends the three sites in triumph! Pure fruit integrated with succulent acidity, understated tannins and sensitive oaking in an elegant composition. Powerful yet demure.' - Platter's SA Wine Guide 2017, 5*

'A combination of Windansea (50%), Mrs M (30%) and Block 6 (20%), this is always more than the sum of its parts, a brilliant expression of the Upper Hemel-en-Aarde Valley. Floral, complex and well balanced, with some clover spice from 20% whole bunches, sweet red berry fruit and a long, savoury, complex finish.' - Tim Atkin MW, SA Special Report 2016, 96/100
