Bursting fruit, smooth with no undesirable bite of over eager tannins — 7 years ago
Absolutely delicious and smooth. Flavors of muted dark berries. — 7 years ago
The pale golden straw color is appealing, while the nose certainly isn’t scaring anyone away. Clean earth notes define the apple, papaya and lime aromas beautifully. The palate shows off-dry pear, apple and Meyer lemon flavors on a bed of acidity. Finishing long, it’s the earth and citrus that stays around after the sip. The wine’s body makes it a lot more versatile that just “salads and sipping.” Winemaker Markus Niggli recommends you pair it with anything off the grill. — 8 years ago
A very good bottle of wine and even better for the price. Price v quality makes it one of the best values in my opinion. — 9 years ago
Everything you would expect from this type of wine with the added pleasure of knowing you are tasting an important piece of South African wine history. — 9 years ago
Promising. Nose beginning to open, palate and finish still a bit backward. Hard to gauge where flavor profile is headed but this showed much more terroir character than varietal flavors. Would be wonderful to revisit in 3-5 years. — 10 years ago

Super amazing...first tried this at the wine farm in cape town. — 7 years ago
Probably the BEST CF I have ever had! Screams of French finesse and fruit. Had the sophistication of a blend with the pristine persona of a single varietal. It has a long ethereally sweet finish interwoven into structured tannins and ample acidity. This was like an M5 ready for any road. Just bought two more for the cellar :) — 7 years ago

Crisp, dry and well crafted. Nice Riesling with hints of peaches and flowers. Some tropical fruits on the pallet. Loads of acidity. Solid effort. — 7 years ago
