AWARDS

Platter Guide 2010: 3 Stars:
“Fruit salad. Fig, thatch & sweat. Peach & lemon zest too. Mild acidity.”

Wine Spectator Magazine (USA February 2010): 85 points
“Lively, with lime and fennel hints backed by a tangy, gooseberry-tinged finish.”

in the vineyard : 2009 was a relatively easy harvest, with near ideal weather conditions. Vineyards remained stress-free and healthy, ripening their crops easily. In general, the quality of the harvest for both red and white wines was very good.

about the harvest: Sourced from various vineyards in the Agter-Paarl region. Mostly un-irrigated, older (10-35 yr old), bush-vine (un-trellised) vineyards with low yields of 6,5 tons/ha. Only free-run juice used in producing this wine.
