Surprisingly complex for only a 2018 from the Southern Hemisphere. Hints of smoke and flint and toast. Purity of fruit. Excellent #hemelenaarde #southafricanwine #southafrica — 5 years ago

Vintage 2022 | much character! Purple rim. Cassis, leather. Infanticide but so much potential. We tasted the wine after popped and pour, I am sure with a few hours decanter my appreciation would be + 0,2. The wine screams for food, as tannins are very present now. — 7 months 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 years ago
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 — 3 years ago

39/38/23 blend of Viognier, Chenin Blanc and Grenache Blanc for this vintage. Yellow white, excellent clarity. Floral and stone fruit notes in nose. Nectarine, floral and Meyer lemon flavors. Pear emerges after an hour to dominate. Light skin astringency on finish with some mineral character. Lightly fruity but mercifully dry, just enough acidity to make it work. Good value. — 10 months ago
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. — 4 years ago

Really nice wine, great fruit, tastes a little more like aged Syrah than Cab. Beautiful at this age though. — 6 years ago
