Wine Magazine September 2006 - 4 stars
SA Terroir Wine Awards - Top Sauvignon Blanc (Robertson and Swellendam District )
A delicate fruitful wine in the “new world” style. The upfront acids add a refreshing dimension. The style is crisp and dry with mouthwatering gooseberry and tropical fruit salad flavours. These carry through well into the long, tangy finish.

It is excellent with seafood, pasta, grilled chicken kebabs and fresh summer salads.
