Critic tasting note: (2021 vintage) "Roussanne, Sémillon, Chardonnay, Chenin Blanc and a drop of Clairette Blanche were carefully blended, resulting in a wine with a creamy texture and lively acidity backing plenty of fruit flavors. Peach, mango and white grapefruit join notes of grass for a lasting finish." - Wine Enthusiast

2021 Vintage
Tasted: Oct 2023
Roussanne, Sémillon, Chardonnay, Chenin Blanc and a drop of Clairette Blanche were carefully blended, resulting in a wine with a creamy texture and lively acidity backing plenty of fruit flavors. Peach, mango and white grapefruit join notes of grass for a lasting finish.

2017 Vintage
Tasted: Jan 2019
(2019) From the Cape of Good Hope this is old vine Roussanne, Chenin, Semillon, Clairette Blanche and Chardonnay. Beautiful oak treatment here, that creaminess and light toast, the natural ferment character adding a lovely spicy and funky touch. The palate has a surprisingly fresh and direct lemony fruit. Lovely light touch, shimmering with bold citrus flavours, lovely grip but not phenolic.
2015 Vintage
Tasted: Jan 2018
Made from 33% Roussanne, 23% Sémillon, 20% Chardonnay, 18% Chenin Blanc and 6% Clairette, this is broad and full right from the start, with notes of vanilla bean, creamed melon and orange preserves on the nose and mouth. There's just enough acidity to prevent it from feeling totally flat and flabby, while the finish is clean and medium in length. Drink now.
2014 Vintage
Tasted: Jan 2015
(2015) Blended from across the Cape, 37% is Chenin Blanc aged between 20 and 34 years, from the Bottelary hills and Swartland's granite soils. There's also 28% Roussanne, 22% Semillon from old vines in Franschhoek and Chardonnay. There's a lovely natural feel to this, with creaminess and gentle earth and oatmeal. Such a flood of dry apple fruit, tangy and pure, with delicious kick of acidity. Long and beautifully focused.
