Fascinating wine. Tasted almost Demi Se. Rich and unctuous with beeswax, Binet comb and golden pear. Great Foie pairing

Pretty good but none dry and needed a little more evolution to show its stuff

Very cool, honey, viscous, wish I would have drank it last year, but a great find and great producer.

This is one of my favourite Semillons, a powerful combination of a waxy, herbaceous, aromatic nose and a full-bodied creamy mouthfeel. Drunk and enjoyed with salmon.

Very cool bottle. Funky herbal oaky like white Bordeaux but with a little more fruitiness and waxiness. #southafricanwine #semillon #celerysoda

Very interesting. Couldn't place it blind. Tasty and enjoyable, but fairly simple. Fun!

Still has so much freshness and life left, really concentrated tropical notes.

Clear, star bright and pure green lemon, low concentration and medium plus viscosity.
Clean, medium intensity aromas of Mango, banana, yellow flower of orange blossom,mineral of stony.
Dry, medium plus body and medium alcohol, medium acidity and medium plus finish and medium complexity. This wine is round and muscular, better for ageing. $228

A good rich white when you can't take any more Chardonnay
