Warning! Wunderkind wine! Chris and Suzaan continue to do great things with the little plots of heritage vines they find in the nooks and crannies around Walker Bay. Gorgeous lemon curd, peach and poached pear flavors have a stark mineral tone and a hint of toasty butterscotch in the finish. — 12 days ago

Loved this!! Really impressed. It has real fullness and body, and interest without the overly floral top notes of some viogniers. A bit like a bild sauv blanc. I will def buy this again. — 4 days ago

Really enjoyed on first and second evening. I got a hint of chocolate and raspberry, not too Smokey. — 4 days ago

Can a wine be at the same time crisp and creamy? This wine is bright and aromatic but with some creaminess as well though that's probably a lower acidity than any oak. On the nose a get lime and floral, but the palate offers so much more... Pineapple, apricot, enhanced floral, much more lime and minerality, but with a mouthfeel that seems substantial. I don't want to oversell this as, let's be honest, this is an incredibly inexpensive wine. It was actually on sale on top of that. So wow. Seriously, this is priced incredibly low where I live. I'm freaking out. — a day ago

Great Pinot. Never had SA PN before (I think) but this was great. Full, very fruity n berry w a little maturity yet fresh, acidic backbone/structure. @ Thörnströms kök — 6 days ago

Impressive for the price, great balance, full and rich, yet with a zesty grip.

Très bon pour le prix, équilibré, savoureux, assez plein et riche avec une belle tension qui supporte le tout. 90-91 — 11 days ago

2015 vintage must say really great Pinot Noir with a lot of stuff going on; smoke, leather, earth/dust, minerality, spices, a full fruitbasket and superb acidity! Drinking smooth and very well! — 19 days ago

Translucent magenta color that immediately communicates the freshness of the wine. Crunchy, underripe cranberry, raspberry, and blueberry with fresh soil and rainwater. Medium + acid, low tannin, low alc, but not lacking structure - delicious. Bottle disappeared before we knew it. — 14 days ago

2019 10ish. I see other reviews calling this a rose. I would call it a white wine blend. It does have a slightly sweet flavor — 11 days ago
