This wine was soooo good when we tasted it at the tasting room in Franschhoek. Purchased a few bottles and brought it home. Carefully preserving for the ‘perfect’ occasion…. but when is that? So just open it when we felt like it. Much better plan!!! 😎. Not quite like I remember unfortunately. But still good. Some stringent flavors throwing it off balance. Not quite the depth of flinty, mineral flavors as I had stored away in my memory. Also not quite the intensity and the length. But….it did bring us back to a wonderful time we had in South Africa (that day!). — 5 months ago
Delicious. Replacement for the Château d'Yquem Sauternes previously on the Reserve Tasting Menu; not mad at this South African straw wine, however, as the 2022 vintage was served as the finale for our meal at Da Terra in London as well. Top marks! — 24 days ago
This is a mixture of old vines Chenin Blanc 66%, Clairette Blanche 18% Grenache Blanc 5%, Viognier 4%, Semillon 4%, Verdelho 3% with wonderful golden colour reflecting the lemon, melon and citrus flavours. 14% abv but well integrated and good long acidity on the finish

Excellent. Well blended. Fruity hint of plum and black cherries to me. Rather delicious wine. Highly recommended. Had many bottles in SA — 7 months ago
Under $20, big honey and enough subtle minerality to balance out. Winner! — 8 months ago
