97 points Tim Atkin, MW: "(13.5%). Eben Sadie describes this isolated, sand dune-covered site as 'the vineyard of Mad Max' and I know what he means. Pale and salty, the resulting wine is a brilliant, cool climate, windbuffeted cuvée of Chenin Blanc and Palomino that has limestone freshness and intensity, kelp, oyster shell and sourdough flavours and volcanic intensity. Drink: 2023-2030. (2022)"
94+ points Anthony Mueller (Wine Advocate): "An instant delight, the 2021 Old Vine Series Skerpioen is bright and salty with a citrus-focused nose that offers soft notions of white flowers and sea spray. Medium-bodied, the wine compresses on the palate and shows energetic acidity with flavors of white spiced tea, lemon pith and citrus blossom before ending with a food-friendly, mineral-laced finish. It’s a brilliant wine that will find synergistic effects from being paired with food. Drink: 2023-2036. (Dec 2022)"
