“This is beautiful. Really impressive.” - Jamie Goode, 94 points

A wonderfully juicy Stellenbosch red made from Gamay, the Beaujolais grape. The word ‘juicy’ can sometimes be used as a euphemism to mean ‘eye-wateringly acidic’, just like ‘powerful’ can mean borderline flammable or ‘flinty’ can mean the fruit has left the building, but I’m using ‘juicy’ in its rightful sense here, to mean succulently tangy. There’s a whole punnet of strawberries in this wine, a little smoky cherry and the moreish quality of tangerines (I don’t know about you, but I can get through a string bag full of them in a single sitting). This is a great wine for parties, picnics and barbecues, with its soft tannins and a relatively low alcohol content of 13% abv. Screwcap. Organic. Drink now-2034.

Press reviews:

JancisRobinson.com: “Bright and glossy cherry red. Glorious aroma of dark-red fruits and crushed stones. Expressive, pure, vibrant – makes you want to delay tasting the wine to be able to go on enjoying the aroma. All that vibrant fruit on the palate, too, but with gentle tannin texture and fresh acidity to give the fruit shape. Pure, long and delicious. Not unlike one of the generally lighter Beaujolais crus such as Juliénas or Brouilly but it is no mere imitation. Pure, long and likely to age well in the medium term. You could enjoy this now but there’s no rush. Good Value (Julia Harding MW). Drink now-2035.” 17 points

Jamie Goode: “Sweet spicy aromatic strawberry fruit on the nose with hints of clay, chalk and warm spiciness. The palate is fresh, supple, rounded but also spicy and quite mineral. Beautiful elegance and tension here, but also some mid-palate richness. This is beautiful. Really impressive.” 94 points
