June 30, 2011 - Lively and fresh, despite being a vintage or two behind, this offers a complex, almost NZ-like nose full of lime, gooseberry, white chili pepper, green pea, white peppercorn, and chalky minerals. Medium bodied on the palate, with a nice balance between juicy, citrusy acidity and slightly lush green melon flavors.

August 10, 2010 - Tasting Notes Group A:
Appearance: (3/3)
Clarity clear with light straw colour visible and a good gradation.
Nose: (5/7)
Clean,tropical fruit offering inviting aromas of medium intensity and a light complexity.
Palate: (7/10)
Dry entrance with a gradual follow through from nose to palate. Well balanced, offering green fig and asparagus flavours with a lingering aftertaste of medium weight and acidity.
Conclusion: (15/20)
Young vintage keeping you intrigued and interested. Promising age potential. Overall balanced between the nose and palate, combining at the end to ensure a lingering aftertaste. -

August 10, 2010 - Tasting notes group B
In the glass a greenish straw and pale depth.
The nose is clean with a medium-low intensity. Clear Golden Delicous, ripe fruits, peach and mango with a medium complexity.
The entry is dry with a medium-high acidity and tastes of lime and passion fruit. The wine is in balance and has a good follow trough. The aftertaste is short to medium.
This Saucignon blanc from the warmer Stellenbosch climate is fairly young and fresh.
CWA point scale: 15,5/20
