98 points Tim Atkin, MW: "[12.7%] Chris Alheit's recently acquired Nuwedam farm on the Paardeberg is the source of this world-class Chenin Blanc, which shows his determination to "zero out the winemaking" and focus on site. White flower and roof thatch aromas segue into a taut, focused, stony, effortlessly concentrated palate with layers of fennel, oatmeal and green apple. 2023-2031. (2022)."
94 points Neal Martin (Vinous): "The 2021 Fire By Night, formerly known as Broom Ridge, has a lovely, seductive bouquet with mirabelle, jasmine and light candle wax aromas. It needs quite a bit of coaxing but then responds enthusiastically. The palate is very well balanced and cohesive with commendable salinity and a spiciness that lingers off-stage for a while before delivering enticing lemongrass and white pepper notes on the finish. Superb. Drink 2023-2040. (09/22)."
92 points Wine Spectator: "A well-honed white, with ripe melon and fig fruit, ground ginger and white pepper, chamomile and lemon zest notes. Sleek and lightly silky on the palate, with a rich, subtle base of stone, smoke and beeswax bringing a savory edge and complexity. Chenin Blanc. Drink now through 2028. 530 cases made, 60 cases imported. (05/23)."
