November 22, 2022 - This wine pairs well with traditional bobotie, rosemary beef fillet, game pie or any dish you feel like enjoying on the day. According to Jan van Riebeeck_s diary, the first wine was made in the Cape on the 2nd of February 1659. The grapes from our Pinot Dark ruby colour with inviting aromas of red berries, ripe plums and subtle notes of vanilla, violets and sweet oak spice; full on the palate with soft, silky tannins. Recommended drinking 8 to 15 years from vintage. This wine pairs well with traditional

February 22, 2021 - Very classy Pinotage and certainly in its drinking window now. Just enough brambly blackcurrant to suggest Pinotage, but would be very difficult to spot blind. Elegant, fresh and thoroughly enjoyable from the first sip through to the last drop.

March 5, 2019 - WOTN during a tasting with friends. A nice tobacco, mint, red fruit with rich oak integration. A great wine that almost everyone picked as the top wine of the night. I'm a huge fan and can't wait to buy more.

April 9, 2018 - More gentle minty and beautiful red fruits and hint of black fruit on bramble. Touch of Cabernet in it gives it extra depth. Fantastic vintage. Drink in the next 15 years.

November 26, 2017 - In the bouquet some smoke and toast. On the palate beautiful dark berries and oak. Firm but good acidity and tannin. Beautiful wine, but still too young. The yield was extremely low.
