Winery notes (2020 Vintage)
"Bright purple-red colour. Bold aromas of plums, blackberries, hints of liquorice and tar, layers of smoke, roasted nuts and rich vanilla on the nose. The palate is packed with flavours of plums, cherries, black figs, dark chocolate, blackberries and spicy oak. The beautifully integrated plush, creamy tannins with satisfying acidity result in a wonderfully balanced wine with a long finish, promising great maturation potential."
92/100 Vinous (2020 Vintage)
"The 2020 Pinotage Estate is fermented in open-top fermenters and is raised for 16 months in 80% new oak. It has a very pure and precise nose that is a masterclass in what this sometimes derided grape variety can do. The palate is medium-bodied with pliant tannins, fine acidity, very pure and poised with a gentle yet focused, blackberry and bilberry finish. Lovely."
92/100 Christian Eedes, winemag.co.za, July 2022 (2020 Vintage)
"Matured for 18 months in 225-litre barrels, 80% new. At this early stage, the nose shows rather prominent notes of vanilla and milk chocolate before cherries, plums and violets. The palate is opulent with lots of dense fruit and a smooth texture yet super-dry on the finish. Hard-hitting stuff."
