Critics Ratings

'Three vineyards are used to make this impressive Pinot Noir - Mrs M, Windansea and Seadragon, which shows the elegance of what Gordon Newton Johnson says was a very cool year in the Hemel-en-Aarde Valley. Elegant, bright and sumptuously perfumed, it has granular tannins, subtle wood and sweet raspberry and red cherry fruit. Drink 2021-28.' – Tim Atkin MW, SA Special Report 2019, 95/100

'Aromatically, there are notes of rose, musk and white pepper to go with red berries while the palate is medium bodied with a good core of fruit, fresh acidity and fine tannins. Pure and precise as you’d expect from this producer.' – Christian Eedes, Winemag.co.za, 93/100 (Jan 2020)
