Stands out from the rest of the range (only wine from HPF that is a single varietal). Also stands out for it’s exceptional profile!

Delicious. Blackcurrants, plum, hints of vanilla & tobacco, liquoric licorice and cloves. Soft, smooth and well rounded. Stunning wine.

Lovely smooth and complex notes of butter, vanilla, oak and honey on the palate with minerals throughout. Definitely not your run of the mill Sauv blanc.

Top SB, concentratie, geel, eiken in de afdronk maar niet over de top. Value for money. Lekkerste wijn van HPF naar mijn mening

Bold fruit follow by allspice and flint. I get the cloves along the finish. Excellent price quality ratio.

I thoroughly enjoyed this wine. I'm a little obsessed with anything malbec so this was right up my alley. Lovely for a winter's evening.

Strong berries, pepper corn on the nose and taste. My wife says its her favourite wine of all time.. who am I to argue! BTW she rated this one!

The 2019 is a monumental shift for the brand. The style has been refined under the skillful hand of Wilhelm. An exciting wine to find.

Phenomenal Cab Franc. One of the bests out there. Smooth earthy notes and a black fruit mouthfeel that lingers. One of my favourites in South Africa!! Get a case!

Genieten deze wijn. Houtrijping op eiken. Tonen van vanille en donker fruit zoals pruim. Op de geur ook wel iets weg van een sigarenkistje. Love it!

VivinoRyan Hodgson

Full, rich and smoky with lovely earthy notes alongside Leather blackcurrant and black pepper.

VivinoWally B

Such a smooth red. Typical Shiraz. blackcurrant notes

VivinoRyan Hodgson

Really really good Sauv Blanc. Thicker on the palate with a very refreshing flavour of gooseberry and guava. Gorgeous

86/ 100(4.3/5)
VivinoStan Guner

Dark cherry, transparent red colour. Cherries, licorice, leather, plum, vanilla, garlic on the nose. Spicy, smoke on the palette. Light bodied. Light tannins. Very instructive for pure Cabernet Franc flavour

86/ 100(4.3/5)
VivinoErhard Wolf

Fullbodied shiraz with zesty dark fruit and well balanced

84/ 100(4.2/5)
VivinoDewet Bisschoff

Pale golden with grass notes, guava, apple, asparagus, minerals completes a suitably complex Sauvignon Blanc picture.

VivinoRuhan Steynberg

A little bit different to the typical SA Rose. On the nose more predominant red fruit, strawberry and watermelon with a creamy undertone rather than citrus acidity. The atypical oak influence is evident in the darker colour as well as the texture and structure of the wine. The palate follows the nose in that the acidity is substituted for more texture, strawberries and cream leading the way. The finish is pleasant and lingering.

82/ 100(4.1/5)
VivinoAlbertus

Oak maturation smooths out some of the typical acidity and improves the wine overall from the kaalvoet meisie.

Delicous. Special fermenty smell and green taste, whilst still being balanced. My favourite sauvignon blanc

I like this merlot. Good balance of spice and savory notes with good black fruit with light oak. Nothing too distinct but balanced and easy drinking. Nice spice notes.

VivinoMike Nel2019-06-01

Rose petal, molasses. Light and surprisingly soft. Juicier than expected, low to mid tannin, could develop a bit longer. Needs a little complexity but flavorsome and quality.

VivinoStephen Gardner2019-02-26

Loved this wine. Crisp, but like a chameleon with our food. So delicious. Minerality and just the right amount of fruit.

I liked this merlot. As recommended South African wines are really good value for money. This one just tastes of nice red wine - nothing remarkable but extraordinary value for money. It went particularly well with a cheese and meat board we had ordered Connolly’s Birmingham

VivinoReinhardt Güldenpfennig

Very nice merlot. Not overly tannic, but beautifully balanced dark fruit, some oak and ripe red fruit.

VivinoDavid Murray Smith

Great value and full of fruit (red currant and black currant). Perfect pairing for a braai but lacks elegance. Some more oak and a cork would have lifted it to the next level. Perhaps I should have waited another year?

Nose: woah, quite chocolate for a Shiraz, with a hint of fermented juice Palate: spicy and smooth. Numbs the mouth a little then washes with liquorice Finish: chewy and pleasant Overall: very nice easy Shiraz.

't genot zit 'm net zoveel in de neus als in de bek. Heerlijk! Witte peper, diep, rijk, hout, misschien zelfs iets van peperkoek. Beetje stroevig wel, maar niet storend. Heel zacht en mellow. Ik vind 'm lekker. Niet hoger dan een 4, omdat 'ie ergens ook iets vlaks heeft.

Exceptionally unusual rose given that it's base is a Bordeaux blend of five, but very well rounded and soft. The palate is candied cherry, marzipan, strawberry and cream.

VivinoWillem Pretorius

Nice Strawberry and cream aroma. Complex palate of red fruit and mulberry. It’s a nice fresh blend of Merlot, Petit Verdot, Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc and Malbec. Girl with the long legs is great.

3.9 / 5 - Interesting flavours here, certainly on the lighter side of these grapes. Quite a chalky texture too. Perfectly adequate all together

strawberry dominating nose and palate. Fruit forward with a distinct note of raspberry candy floss oak and a subtle cream element. Wouldn’t necessarily classify as a dry Rosé. Light and easy drinking.
