Critics Ratings

'The 2012 Old Vine Series Kokerboom is a pure Semillon planted in the 1930s that takes the form of white and red-berried fruit. It offers an elegant bouquet with scents of dandelion, wilted white petals, broom and jasmine. The palate is well-balanced with a fresh vibrant entry, crisp acidity and poised, elegant finish with hints of apricot and quince lingering long in the mouth. Superb - this represents one of Eben's best offerings from his Old Vine Series. Eben Sadie told me at the Cape Wine Show back in September 2012 that he was looking forward to focusing all his energies upon South Africa, now that he has relinquished his venture in Priorat. His wines continue to furrow their own individual path, distinctive in so many ways. At some future point I plan to write in more detail about Eben, so for now let's get straight to what is another raft of exceptional wines.' - Neal Martin, Wine Advocate, 96/100 (Oct 2013)
