97 points Tim Atkin, MW: "(13.4%). Can you smell the ocean in this wine? I reckon you can, along with a breeze barrelling off False Bay. Pure, salty and bracingly fresh, with leesy weight, granitic intensity, wonderful definition, focus and tension and a finish that lingers like a haunting refrain. 2023-2032. (2021)"
94 points Neal Martin (Vinous): "The 2020 Nautical Dawn, from granite soils and vines planted in 1978 that undergoes a two month ferment, is aged in two _foudres_ for 12 months. Fragrant on the nose, this offers beguiling yellow plum, honeysuckle and peach skin scents. Very pure. The palate is well balanced with an assertive, spicy entry, wonderful depth and vibrancy with a layered pithy finish that lingers. Brilliant. Drink: 2023-2042. (Sep. 2022)"
