94 points James Suckling"Nicely baked apples, ripe citrus, stones, warm spices and a touch of vanilla. Tense and medium- to full-bodied on the palate, with a saline touch to the lengthy, flavorful finish. Fresh, composed and very extensive." Jancis...

96 points Decanter"Among the rooibos and citrus in the high-altitude Piekenierskloof you can find South Africa's oldest, dryland Grenache vines, so muscled they are sometimes called 'booms', Afrikaans for trees. Grenache-whisperer Marelise Niemann has...

94 points Wine Enthusiast"This wine is a caress in a glass. Golden in hue, the wine has a smile-inducing nose of warm orchard fruit including yellow apple and sun-warmed pear followed by dried honeysuckle petals. The palate is rich and creamy with hints...

95+ points Vinous“The 2020 Ferrière is tremendous. Dark fruit, lavender, gravel, incense and dark spice are some of the many notes that develop. A wine of vertical, explosive energy, Ferrière is fabulous. The tannins are bruising...

94 points Allen Meadows, Burghound"A beautifully complex, elegant and gorgeously pure nose offers up notes of violet, plum and a broad range of spice elements that are trimmed in just enough wood to notice. Just as with the Bèze there is seriously...

98 points James Suckling"The first thing that strikes you is the huge stone fruit ripeness in the nose, but then comes the striking exotic fruit and herb freshness, and when you take the first sip the wet stone intensity and vibrancy are truly staggering...

95 points Decanter"Slightly reductive nose currently, but it’s pure, fruity and juicy on the palate, with vibrant acidity and a long finish. A powerful and concentrated, joyful style of Condrieu with rich peach, apricot flesh, cinnamon and citrus...

Jancis Robinson"Also rich and slow, like the Folatières – heavy with its oak mantle. But the Garenne does have more freshness and racy acidity. Lime and lemon zest. Long in the spine and mid line, promising magnificence if you wait...
