Reviews and Ratings

Tussock jumper 2017 is produced from 100% Chenin Blanc wine grapes from the Western Cape wine region in South Africa. Great value on this crisp, fresh citrusy white with ripe peach, pineapple and guava fruit flavours on the palate. Nice lingering flinty and citrusy flavours on the finish. Tussock is a type of wild grass that grows in the Cape and "jumper" is another word for a sweater. So, not too sure why the Rhino on the label is wearing a sweater, but the Chenin Blanc wine grapes for the 2017 vintage were sourced from the Helderberg and Paarl regions from the steep slopes of the Du Toitskloof mountains (probably cold up there). Chill and pair with a vegetable risotto. - 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.

The Financial Times of London

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.
