Critics Ratings
'The shaded Jonkershoek Valley is a special site for Cabernet Sauvignon, although this now comes from a leased vineyard rather than Stark-Condé. Deeply coloured, with firm, layered, serious tannins, notes of cassis and mulberry and an undertone of wild herbs.' - Tim Atkin MW, SA Special Report 2018, 93/100
'Notably dark crimson. Pretty subtle, intriguing, appetising nose. Lots of intensity and juice. Also lots of tannic structure but a glamorous, non-flashy whole. Aromatic with lots of clean fruit.' - Jancis Robinson, JancisRobinson.com, 17/20 (Jan 2020)
