Tasting notes:

‘First produced in 2018, but made with Hermanuspietersfontein grapes since 2020, this is a world-class Sauvignon Blanc that tastes as good as it looks. Combining skin and barrel-fermented components, this is a white with grip, intensity and backbone, showing blackcurrant leaf and rock salt flavours and some black tea tannins. Wonderfully expressive, layered and complex. 2023-28’ – Tim Atkin MW, SA Special Report 2023, 95/100

‘From Sauvignon Blanc, 50% given skin contact for approximately two weeks before maturation in new 500-litre French oak barrels, 50% fermented in older barrels. Extraordinarily complex aromatics of black currant, citrus, peach, kiwi fruit, floral perfume and fennel while the palate has dense fruit, snappy acidity, some pithy texture to the finish. A seamless wine with great flavour intensity. Alc: 12.5%.’ – Christian Eedes, Winemag.co.za, 96/100

‘Combining skin and barrel-fermented components, with wild yeasts adding yet another dimension, this wine is showing incredible elderflower intensity, aromatic spices, hints of black currant and passion fruit with ever so subtle herbal nuances expressing the cooler climate origin. The underlying minerality adds depth to this beautifully expressive Sauvignon Blanc, layered with incredible texture and a mouthwatering acidity.’ – Winemaker
