‘49% Chenin Blanc, 9% Clairette Blanche, 8% Semillon, 7% Grenache Blanc, 7% Roussanne, 6% Verdelho, 6% Viognier, 4% Marsanne and 4% Colombard – nine varieties from 19 different vineyards and involving 21 pickings. Expressive and yet not obvious aromatics – hints of quince, peach, yellow apple, potpourri, fennel and spice. The palate has a good core of fruit and well-integrated acidity before a finish that is long and savoury. Intricate in every sense being intensely flavoured, slightly grippy in texture and just beautifully balanced.’ – Christian Eedes, Winemag.co.za, 96/100
‘Driven by old-vine Paardeberg Chenin Blanc, with the other 51% made up of Clairette Blanche, Semillon, Grenache Blanc, Roussanne, Verdelho, Viognier, Marsanne and Colombard, this is a seamless cuvée from David and Nadia Sadie that’s enjoying its twelfth release. Spicy and perfumed, with subtle skin contact tannins, nuanced oak and wax, pear, peach and lemongrass flavours. 2023-28’ – Tim Atkin, MW, South African Special Report 2022, 93/100
