Accolades
TIM ATKIN MW 2023 SOUTH AFRICA SPECIAL REPORT [ 94/100 ]
“Ever the star of the chardonnays, from dryland vines on silica quartz dominated soils. Zesty fruit intensity the common thread. Less new oak, 20% vs 34% for 2019, gives quince and lime the stage, creamy lees a subtle backdrop. A vivacious beauty.”
PLATTER’S WINE GUIDE [ 4½ stars – 94/100 ]
“Aromas of lemon peel, green olive and flint. Medium-bodied with bright acidity. Subtle spice adds complexity to the fresh citrus and pear fruit palate. Juicy finish. Drink or hold.”
JAMESSUCKLING.COM [ 92/100 ]
“A rich core of fruit with leesy, biscuity notes over honey stroopwaffles, white blossom, gun flint and subtle butterscotch nuances. The palate is bold and full, confidently structured, exhibiting plenty of acid frame, textural fruit depth, savoury lemon and herb fruit notes, finishing with a lemon and lime brightness.”
GREG SHERWOOD MW [ 95/100 ]
“Tension on the nose and some richness underneath. Green-gold taste, somehow. Real grip.”
JANCIS ROBINSON MW [ 17/20 ]
“An ethereal nose, only the vaguest notes of citrus and stone fruit to be discerned plus a little flinty reduction. The palate is light bodied and taut, the finish very dry. A hint of waxiness appears with time in the glass.”
CHRISTIAN EEDES [ 94/100 ]
