Grapes from Piekenierskloof. Matured in a combination of concrete egg and amphora. Some struck match reduction before citrus, peach and herbs on the nose while the palate is wonderfully vivid – great fruit concentration and punchy acidity before a pithy finish. Impressive presence and intensity of flavour. 95/100 Winemag.co.za 5 stars Platter Guide 2022
