Critics Ratings

'Labelled as a Cape Town red, but sourced from a 0.38-hectare parcel close to Duncan Savage's home on the Cape Peninsula, this is a stylish, small volume Syrah on sand, clay and ferricrete soils. With white pepper and sea breeze aromas, lots of colour and intense red berry and blackberry fruit this partially whole bunch fermented red is delicious. 2021-28.' - Tim Atkin MW, SA Special Report 2019, 94/100

'Striking cool-climate Syrah ex Cape Peninsula. 2018 vivid youthful hue, heady spice and red fruit scents with energy and freshness. Concentration of flavour rather than high alcohol give sense of body. Bone-dry, still bit edgy but will round with even short ageing. 13% alcohol.' - Platter's SA Wine Guide 2020, 4.5* (94 pts)
