Score 17/20 · Drink 2024-2030, Jancis Robinson MW, Aug 2023

Semillon from Citrusdal Mountain. 16 hl/ha. Ageing 12 months in old foudre. Tightly bound chord of green apple, ginger, lime and wild grass. Linear and pure with delicate whiffs of orange blossom melding into the faintest hint of lanolin. Textural rather than creamy on the palate, remarkably precise, still quite firm and unyielding but giving more and more as it opens up. (MF)
