Critics Ratings
'Tin Soldier comes from the Schreiber family's vineyard on the Paardeberg and is entirely made with rare Semillon Gris. Just over two-thirds of the wine spends ten days on skins, producing a white with a bronze pink colour that's complex, challenging and a little tannic with pastry, quince and orange marmalade notes and tangy minerality. Drink 2020-26.' – Tim Atkin MW, SA Special Report 2019, 94/100
'From a six-year-old vineyard of Semillon Gris established using material from the Paper Kite site. 70% skin fermented for some 10 days and 30% whole-bunch pressed. A gorgeous and exotic nose of floral perfume (frangipani, honeysuckle), table grape, papaya and a whiff of marmalade. Great fruit concentration, coated acidity and some light grip to the finish. Layers of flavour and great length.' – Christian Eedes, Winemag.co.za, 95/100 (Jun 2019)
