| Description: | 4 ½ Stars 2020 Platter's South African Wine Guide Best vineyard blocks, 18 (93 pts) portion bunched pressed, barrel fermented, third new, 11 months on lees. Essence of citrus, oak in support as buttered toast underpin, brisk acidity keeping it youthfully vibrant, promising a future. 93 pts Tim Atkin MW 2019 It's good to see this impressive white bottled under screw cap, as it will age well given the right storage conditions. Lightly wooded and showing freshness that's a feature of the style, this is creamy, sappy and long on the palate, with precision and focus. 2020-25. 92 pts Wine Enthusiast Editors' Choice April 2020 This wine offers enticing aromas of wood-grilled apple, orange peel, peach pit, baking spice and pie crust. They're forward and pronounced, but not overly so, offering a harmonious medley of fruit and spice. The medium-weight palate offers more of the same, framed by lively acidity and a vibrancy that lends energy and lift through the long and spicy close. |
