White	2018 Haute-Cabriere Chardonnay The Haute Collection Franschhoek Valley more	Options Post a Comment View rikipedia's profile Report Issue 10/21/2020 - rikipedia wrote: 83 points Chardonnay Round Table with Emile Joubert (Chamonix Wine Estate): (Tasted Blind. Light yellow colour. The aroma reveals an appealing ripeness, underscored by notes of apple and a fleeting hint of dishcloth. An initial touch of sweetness spreads across the palate, followed by traces of graphite geosmin, reminiscent of moss or wet stone. There is also some brief curry leaves notes, adding a touch of exoticism! A light mid-palate with little depth, there is a firmer texture yet pulls up very short on the finish. Made in Amphora.

Red	2015 Haute-Cabriere Pinot Noir Reserve Franschhoek Valley more	Options Post a Comment View -Tim-'s profile Report Issue 7/7/2022 - -Tim- Likes this wine: 92 points One of the many bottles I brought home from my two trips to South Africa this year. Matured for nine months in 228L Burgundy Oak Barrels. 1.8 g/L RS vs 5.5 g/L TA. Tasting note from the producer: "The Haute Cabrière Pinot Noir Réserve 2015 shows intense dark fruit, cigar box and mocha notes. The tannin structure is full and round, with a long dry finish. The wine is drinking substantially well and can age for a further 3-5 years." Interestingly, the bottle label suggests a cellaring time of 5-8 years, which seems more realistic. Otherwise I completely agree with the cigar box note, which was quite strong (after 2.5 h decant in the glass). In addition, this PN felt smooth and mellow, and I got earthy cherry notes as well. Given the light brown fringes and turbidity I assume that this is mid to end drinking window. Do you find this review helpful? Yes - No / Comment

Not sure how much of a freshly opened bottle. A blend usually reserved for sparkling wines and proudly boasts it's the pioneer of the type. Frankly had we had this full blind we would have thought it's a rose, Provence rose. The colour here is pale , clean, soft yellow tinge but the palate is of a rose, soft red fruit lingers on the backup ground , light acidity, round and welcoming but not really much depth here. Interesting a an ok 85 1 person found this helpful, do you? Yes - No / Comment

White	2015 Haute-Cabriere Chardonnay Pinot Noir Franschhoek Valley Chardonnay Blend, Chardonnay more	Options Post a Comment View tgang's profile Report Issue 2/7/2016 - tgang Likes this wine: 90 points Both the Chardonnay and Pinot Noir are distinct and identifiable in this blend. The front end of the palate is led by the Chardonnay with the bright acidity but the mouthfeel is much more influenced by the Pinot Noir and the red fruit comprises most of the mid palate and certainly the finish. The finish has brine from the Chardonnay along with the red fruit. Very refreshing. 90 Do you find this review helpful? Yes - No / Comment
