Critics Ratings
'An exciting wine from the first negociant in South Africa, Neil Ellis sourcing these grapes from Banghoek and Firgrove. It shows a Napa Valley-like, modern expression of vintage Cape Wine. The nose shows super ripe peach, apricot and almost aftershave. Sweet entry with ripe fruits and yet a savoury and dry finish. Super interesting and somewhat quirky. Drink over the next decade.' - Roland Peens 92/100, (July 2025)
