Critics Ratings
'Driven by old-vine Paardeberg Chenin Blanc, with the other 51% made up of Clairette Blanche, Semillon, Grenache Blanc, Roussanne, Verdelho, Viognier, Marsanne and Colombard, this is a seamless cuvée from David and Nadia Sadie that's enjoying its twelfth release. Spicy and perfumed, with subtle skin contact tannins, nuanced oak and wax, pear, peach and lemongrass flavours.' - Tim Atkin MW, SA Special Report 2023, 93/100
Complex blend tweaked in 2020, but chenin (49%) still leads roussanne, semillon, marsanne, clairette, viognier, verdelho & grenache blanc, plus colombard. Subtle florality, with lemon edge to stonefruit vivacity. Harmonious & exciting, it lingers forever. - Platter's SA Wine Guide 2022, 4.5* (94/100)
