Critics Ratings
"A wine that led the way for Polkadraai Hills Syrah, this is a stunning new release from Johan Reyneke and his team. Indecently perfumed with fynbos, lavender and black pepper aromas, wild, savoury tannins and a core of dense tapenade, damson and blackberry flavours. Sublime stuff." - Tim Atkin MW, SA Special Report 2021, 97/100 (Sep 2021)
"Instantly impressive, the biodynamic 2018 Reserve Red displays a deep, almost opaque magenta core. Aromas of dusty cherry and plum float out of the glass with elements of black pepper, wild brush and hints of truffle. Medium-bodied and balanced on the palate, the wine reveals flavors of juicy tobacco and bitter dark chocolate and firm, gripping tannins that will remain food-friendly for years to come. The wine ends with a somersaulting and ever-evolving finish that continues to reveal its subtleties and complexities......Bravo!" - Anthony Mueller, Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, 92/100 (Jun 2022)
