    Yesterday we received the very good news that our Barrel Select Reserve Cape Blend 2017 received a 5-star rating in the 2021 Platter’s by Diners Club South African Wine Guide, receiving a score of 96 points.

    This is our first 5-star from Platter’s and we couldn’t be prouder of our team.

    This accolade is reserved for wines that are “South African classics” and score 95 points or more on the internationally recognised 100-point scale.
