Reviews and Ratings

The 2011 Brut Blanc de Blancs comes from the best blocks from Robertson wine-producing area in the Breede River Valley - 50% of the Chardonnay wine grapes for this wine were fermented in barrel to give the wine some comlexity and a creamy mouthfeel. The sparkling wine is made in the Methode Cap Classique and is aged in bottle for 36 months. The wine won Silver at the 2016 International Wine Challenge - Community Wine Reviews

Unquenchable by Natalie MacLean

Natalie MacLean is a new force in the wine writing world ‐ a feisty North American answer to Hugh Johnson and Jancis Robinson. She can write beautifully about wine.

There are very few people in the wine world who "get it" and Natalie is one of those who brings more fun to a buttoned-up and stodgy game.
