'Since its first, headline-grabbing release in 2011, Cartology has become a key wine in the history of the new South Africa. Blended across the Western Cape, it's an assemblage of Chenin Blanc with 10% Semillon that’s herbal, textured and sappy with notes of oatmeal, citrus and pear, pithy acidity, subtle oak and a spicy twist. Arguably the best release since 2011. Drink 2021-27' – Tim Atkin MW, SA Special Report 2020, 95/100
'From various old-vine chenin parcels in W Cape & 10% Franschhoek semillon. 2019 really singing, with creamy pineapple & citrus fruit enlivened with touch of orange peel & toasted oatmeal. Zesty, pithy acidity throughout & excellent length. Even finer than 2018 (4.5 stars, 93 pts). Natural ferment, hands-off winemaking, neutral vessels (here including 20% ‘eggs’), as all these.' – Platter's Guide, 5* (95/100)
