Ray Jordan’s review
Sourced from some of the southernmost vineyards of Cape Mentelle and picked early to avoid the heat of 2024, this wine proves you shouldn't judge a vintage without knowing the details. It's an incredibly delicate and fine style, capturing powerful, concentrated intensity with refined delicacy. Minerally, lemony notes appear on the nose, while the palate builds slowly through the middle and accelerates into a very long, sustained finish. A classy example of the recent wines from Cape Mentelle.
