"The finest debut South African Chardonnay and Pinot Noir pair"

Recently lauded by wine critic Matthew Jukes as "the finest debut South African Chardonnay and Pinot Noir pair" that he has ever tasted, these wines are going from strength to strength and are fast gaining a reputation for their superb quality.
