Mother Rock Holocene 2021 Bottle size: 750ml
South Africa, Swartland
R235
‘100% whole-bunch fermented before maturation lasting 12 months in foudre. The nose has a gamey top note before red and black berries, pepper and spice while the palate is lean with sour, almost puckering acidity and powdery tannins. This will please the geeks but may be too extreme for more conservative tastes.’ – Christian Eedes, Winemag.co.za, 91/100
