  November 17, 2022 - PnP, chilled, but continued to open with some air. Apple, pear, citrus and some leesy notes on the nose. All of these carry over to the medium to plus bodied palate along with some spice. honey, herb and minerality. The acidity is balancing (but not searing), and any oak is integrated. Should hold for several years.
  A very nice expression of South African Steen. Will buy again.

  October 9, 2022 - We had this over 2 days. It had interesting flavors of pear, citrus, apple and flowers. We had 1 glass without food and I think it would have gone better with food. The 2nd time we didn’t have the right pairing. I’d like to try it again.
  
  Jen preferred the Hermit Crab to this.

  September 26, 2022 - Have been searching for a good white wine pairing for vegetarian pizza and this the best one yet one. Nicely chilled for the patio, the nose is full bodied and serious. In the mouth it stands up well to the spicy, sweet tomato sauce and finishes strongly. Perfect.

  July 5, 2022 - Screw cap. Lovely, intense, and elegant nose offers leesy and paraffin aromas mingling with baked apple-pear, stone fruit, herbs, and touches of lemon citrus adding further complexities. The full-bodied palate is rich, creamy, and textured with complex layers of honey, vanilla, oak spice, baked apple-pear, white pepper, white floral, and dried herb flavours in a dry profile. Acids are fresh, zesty, and textured, while leesy mineral with touches of baked apple, dried herb, and citrus linger on the long, juicy, lip-smacking finish.
