Critics Ratings
'Ideal conditions' is how Miles Mossop (and many other winemakers) describes the 2017 vintage. This stylish cuvée of Cabernet Sauvignon with 53% Merlot, Petit Verdot and Cabernet Franc is youthful, serious and dense, with impressive focus, depth and palate length, notes of graphite, cassis and capsicum and scented 37% new wood. Drink 2022-29.' – Tim Atkin MW, SA Special Report 2020, 94/100
'W.O. Stellenbosch. 47% Cabernet Sauvignon, 26% Merlot, 21% Petit Verdot and 6% Cabernet Franc. Matured for 22 months in French oak, 37% new. Red and black berries, oystershell, a hint of tilled earth and pencil shavings on the nose. The palate shows luscious fruit, fresh acidity and fine tannins. Possessing impressive structure, it comes nicely to a point on the finish. Very nicely judged.' – Christian Eedes, Winemag.co.za, 95/100 (Oct 2020)
