(2019) All from estate vineyards on decomposed sandstone and granite, made in steel. A small proportion of Semillon blended in. A nice gentle leafiness, rounded more weighty than the Cape Town bottling, apple and lime fresh fruit. Textured, with still a very crisp and vibrant acidity driving the palate.
(2013) There's a little Semillon blended in (10%) and this was 20% barrel fermented in 600-litre old barrels. There's a lovely juiciness and passionfruit to this, some lychee and mango tropicality, the herbaceous character in the background, and plenty of fruit and freshness on the palate, a really nice, tight, mineral acidity and lemon squirt of acidity.
(2013) Tank fermented, with just 4% in barrel. Lovely fragrance here, the passionfruit and gooseberry again, the tropical subsumed by a little more pyrozene green too, but not at all overdone. Very tangy, lovely acidity again cutting through the nectarine and guava fruit.
(2010) Nice lime peel note, a touch of sherbet, not overtly herbaceous. The palate has a clear, juicy acidity with ripe but crisp gooseberry fruit and lemony acidity.
(2010) All Cape Point fruit. Some herbaceous, but gently asparagus notes, more passionfruit and very ripe pear notes. The palate has lovely succulence with a juicy, lemony acidity. That grassy punch pushes through, keeping this lean and focused without being strident.
(2002) From way, way down in Cape Point this is an extreme but excellent example of Sauvignon at its most pugnacious. It has a massive, pungent, herbal quality on the nose, loaded with green tomato, asparagus and string bean aromas. The palate is full and much more orthodox, with passionfruit flavours and juicy, lip-smacking acidity. Not for the faint-hearted, but very impressive.
