96 Points Decanter
This spectacular effort glistens with a deep yellow and gold hue. The nose billows from the glass with pure Muscat perfume alongside ravishing ginger and Turkish Delight. It's very fresh and super-intense on the palate, seriously sweet as well as stunningly zesty and zingy, with notes of ginger, nutmeg and bitter marmalade. The finish is monumental; fresh, clean, slightly bitter and remarkably dry. This will develop for decades. Drinking Window 2021 - 2050
95 Points Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
Very ripe and heady nose of apricots and peach jam, straw, dried honeysuckle, caramel, mango puree and candied papaya. Somehow, it all remains fresh. Full and round on the palate. Medium-sweet to sweet with medium acidity. A dense, oily finish. One of the great sweet wines of South Africa. Drink now or hold.
94 Points Wine Spectator
Creamed persimmon, yellow apple, quince and mirabelle plum notes weave together seamlessly in this version, gilded with heather, honey and green tea accents. This is rich, but the brightness and a lovely bitter orange flash add detail on the finish. Muscat de Frontignan.
Winemaker Notes
Bright and yellow gold in color. The nose displays aromas of citrus, ginger and fresh nutmeg. Elegant, well rounded in acidity with a creamy mouthfeel, the flavors follow through offering a zesty mid palate. Full and refreshing, the wine concludes with a long and concentrated finish.
