Very nice, bold and full bodied for a Syrah. Pleasantly surprised. I had it first with meat and then with pasta, and it held up well to both. Would buy again — 2 years ago
Surprisingly complex for only a 2018 from the Southern Hemisphere. Hints of smoke and flint and toast. Purity of fruit. Excellent #hemelenaarde #southafricanwine #southafrica — 4 years ago
Ok, but not a keeper for Kelly or me. A little spicy and almost has a buttery, Chardonnay feel to it. Got better w second glass. 2nd wine in the Langley Pool virtual wine tasting. — 4 years ago
Medium-deep ruby color.
Aromas of stewed black cherry, roast herbs, vanilla. Sweet, yet simulaneously savory.
Dry. Flavors of cherry compote, vanilla, soft bell pepper, earthy, peppercorn, herbs. Medium-rich, semi-chewy tannins.
Intensity: 4/5

2020. A nice rosé with some spice on the palate - a different animal than the Provençal rosés I usually get in Lyon. Found it through a Spanish distributor. Recommend. — 2 years ago

Nice spicy nose, full of exotic notes (ground black pepper, anise, nutmeg, vanilla cinnamon), a bit of white pear plus a touch of honeycomb cake. Exotic & ripe yet very fresh.
Hits the palate quite bold & self assertive - honeyed grilled peaches and (over)ripe cantaloupe with a healthy pinch of nutmeg & vanilla then the mineral & juicy acidity cuts through bringing balance and leading towards a long mineral, salty finish. Quite layered & complex. And yet highly drinkable.
A very nice one! — 2 months ago
