5 Stars 95/100 Cameron Douglas MS

”Delicious from beginning to end , a wine with power and intensity, a core of fruits that are ripe and mouth-wateringly fresh with a laser-focused acid line. Flavours of apples and white pineapple, cape gooseberry, pink grapefruit and salty air. There’s a definitive savoury quality accentuated with finer lees complexities. Lengthy, ready and not to be missed. Best drinking from 2024 through 2030.”

5 Stars 95/100

"Intense, grassy sauvignon with gooseberry, tomato leaf, wet stone and oyster shell flavours supported by assertive, mouth-tingling acidity. Distinctive and appealing wine for those who like truly dry sauvignon. 06 Dec 2023. Drink 2023-2027" Bob Campbell MW

”The impressive 2023 vintage (5*) is a bright, light lemon/green, fresh, full-bodied wine. It has penetrating, ripe, citrusy, herbal flavours, showing excellent purity, delicacy and depth, balanced acidity, and a dry, persistent, finely textured finish. Best drinking mid-2024+.” Michael Cooper
