'31% Roussanne, 20% Chenin Blanc, 29% Chardonnay, 7% Verdelho and 3% Muscat. An exotic nose showing pelargonium and honeysuckle as well as quince, stone fruit, melon and pineapple. The palate is rich and flavourful with zippy acidity and a savoury finish. Dead sexy.' – Christian Eedes, Winemag.co.za, 94/100
'Vine Garden is sourced from a 2010 block that's right next to Chris Alheit's cellar in the Hemel-en-Aarde Ridge. Priced below his other wines, it's an easier drinking cuvée of Roussanne, Chenin Blanc, Chardonnay, Verdelho and Muscat, with aromatic kitchen spice, some pear, quince and peach fruit and a hint of skin tannin. 2019-23.' – Tim Atkin SA Special Report 2019, 92/100
'Aromatic, floral but not OTT. Orange notes in the aroma and on the palate, so scented without any aromatic variety dominating. Some pear and citrus at the core but lots of light aromatic top notes and still has a mineral dusting. Intensity builds on the palate to give a firm, concentrated wine.' - Julia Harding MW, jancisrobinson.com, 17/20
