Far and away, this is the best it's ever been. It's fuller bodied than it used to be, with a touch more Cabernet Sauvignon in the blend, but still massively drinkable. I'm seriously impressed! Adi bought a neighboring farm from where he bought some fruit in the past, but now he's got the pick of the crop, and it's he, now, who sells some Shiraz grapes to well-known winemakers. This has a wonderful nose, like Syrah, a little from the Rhone, with tight cassis, with some stoniness. It's juicy, approachable, really lovely to drink, and dry with a nice tasty, grippy length, still with the juice around the tannins.

We firmly believe that Adi Badenhorst is the most exciting winemaker in South Africa. He is also the most frustrating. His laid back, self-deprecating, playful manner keeps you guessing and makes you wonder whether he has any idea what he is actually doing, whether he just chucks some grapes into a vat and hopes for the best, but we know full well that there is a huge amount of expertise that goes on behind closed doors, when no one is around to witness his skill and diligence ...and spoil his reputation!
