CRITIC REVIEWS
Peter Ranscombe
South Africa’s flagship dessert wine is all about precision – 20 batches of Muscat de Frontignan were picked over two months, with the wine ageing for three years in a mix of new oak and acacia barrels, plus large foudres. The result dances with energy, delivering notes of mint, lemon curd and green apple jelly.

Lustrous mid gold. Dried apricot, orange blossom and citrus peels on the nose, suffused with nutmeg, clove and coffee cream, and an earthy, spicy, saffron-like note. Richly sweet and unctuously textured, but with a streak of acidity that balances beautifully, and gives a preserved grapefruit and lemon flavour. Fantastic length. (TJ)
