98 points James Suckling"The deep, peach and apricot nose leads you into this enormously concentrated yet graceful dry riesling that’s got the stature to stand next to almost any Grand Cru white Burgundy. Enormously long, beautifully balanced...

96 points Wine Enthusiast"Fresh tangerine and Mandarin notes dance on the nose and continue right onto the palate. Here, they are joined by a bright, vivid streak of lemon freshness that makes the senses tingle and the mouth water. This is streamlined...

96 points Tim Atkin"This wonderfully ageworthy Chenin Blanc comes from the same five sites in the Swartland as it has since its maiden vintage in 2015. Barrel-fermented with full malolactic, it has amazing grip and minerality, with thatch, nutmeg and...

92 points Vinous"The 2021 Chardonnay The Agnes from Crystallum is tight and minerally on the nose, sharp and stony to the point where it can easily deceive you into thinking it comes from far cooler climes. The palate is fresh and tensile, almost steely,...

93 points Allen Meadows - Burghound"This the first wine to display any appreciable level of reduction though it seems clear that the underlying fruit is ripe. There is fine underlying tension to the intensely mineral-driven middle weight plus...

91 points Vinous"An exotic and slightly tropical display of ripe green melon, kiwi, sugar-dusted white strawberries and vanilla bean lifts up from the 2019 Bianco Adarmando. This is deeply seductive and pleasantly sweet, offering silken textures, ripe...

92 points Wine Enthusiast"This expressive white has classic varietal aromas of crushed tomato leaf, elderflower and citrus. Racy and medium-bodied, the tangy, delicious palate offers succulent grapefruit, tart gooseberry and green melon before closing on...

94 points Robert Parker's Wine Advocate"The 2019s feel more vibrant than the 2020s, and the 2019 Teira X is a good example of it. This is the white where he tries to take Treixadura to the limit of ripeness and moderate acidity and then compensate it...

Jancis Robinson"Sophisticated nose and really complex. Lovely hint of nuttiness on herbs and flowers. Good grip on the end. 17/20 points." Vinous Reverie NotesPaul Gadenne’s interest in wine began 10 years ago when he moved to Chignin, in the...
