Why it's worth your time
Up on the slopes, cooler, and one of the most consistent producers in the region. A proper tasting estate; pair with Tokara and Delaire on the Helshoogte loop.
What we love
The structured, age-worthy reds and the cool Sauvignon Blanc from the high blocks.
What to know
Among the first estates to plant the cooler Helshoogte slopes in the 1980s, proving the hills were better than the flats; still family-owned by the Webb family.
