Scores

Some voor Paarderberg grapes plus two barrels from Bot River (La Motte’s farm there). Really aromatic and perfumed with lovely fragrant cherry and berry fruits. The palate is supple and elegant with real finesse. Such a lovely wine with sweet fruit, brightness and a bit of green sappiness in the background. Enticing and elegant, with enough structure to suggest this could age beautifully.
95 Points, Jamie Goode

Tasting Notes

A firm favourite, with a beautiful bouquet of Morello cherry and red fruits. This is a very precise and delicate wine showing great skill by the winemaker, delicious!
