| Description: | 5 Stars 2024 Platter's South African Wine Guide Outstanding example of new-wave Cape white blend, 22 (95 pts) fascinating medley of roussanne, semillon, chenin, chardonnay & clairette. Aromatic & multifaceted, like 21 (94 pts) & previous, with stonefruit depth & breadth, fine texture & an elegant, dry limy gripe. Swartland, Stellenbosch & Franschhoek grapes, 9 months in seasoned oak. 95 pts Tim Atkin MW 2023 Rocking Horse affords John Seccombe the chance to show his skills as a blender. Based on Semillon, with the remaining 65% made up of Roussanne, Chenin Blanc, Chardonnay and Clairette Blanche, this seven vineyard cuvée uses grapes from five different regions. Pithy, tangy and very lightly wooded, it has wet stone, quince and green apple flavours and a twist of orange zest. 2024-28 |
