4 ½ Stars 2025 John Platter’s South African Wine Guide Much appeal in 23 (93 pts), vivacious & ready to enjoy, with plenty of life ahead. Old vines delivery abundant quince & zesty pineapple flavours. Similar winemaking: brief skin contact, small part bunch-pressed, fermented/7 months in mix of amphora & older barrels.90 pts Tim Atkin MW 2024 Grapes from different parts of the Helderberg, drawn from vineyards planted between 1977 and 1988, make up the blend here. Fermented in barrels and terracotta amphoras, it has lots of minerality, drive and acidity, top notes of fennel and fynbos, a touch of oak and an earthy petrichor finish. 2024-29
