Grapes from Henk Laing’s property on Citrusdal Mountain, this wine as made by Ginny Povall is worthy of purchasing every year but the 2019 is a particularly beautiful rendition. A beguiling nose of pear, peach, citrus, a hint of guava, fynbos and a slight leesy note. The palate is full but equally very well defined – impressive fruit density and bright acidity before a finish that’s long and dry. Utterly compelling. Tasted pre-release.
CE’s rating: 97/100.

Weird that they did not give this wine its umpteenth consecutive 5 star in Platters. Pinot received kudos though
