Now including 20% of the 777 clone, alongside its habitual 115 base, Vrede comes from red clay soils with a high iron component. Seductively perfumed, this stunning red has fine tannins, fleshy, opulent flavours of strawberry and redcurrant, finely judged 35% new wood and undertones of rose petal and forest floor. One of the greatest ever Cape Pinot Noirs. 97 Points – Tim Atkin MW
Intensely fragrant, showing wild-cherry, clove, rhubarb, licorice and dried-flower aromas. On the palate, it’s medium-bodied and focused with support from ripe tannins. Dark floral undertones continue, offering salty hints on a firm finish. Try after 2025. 96 Points – James Suckling

Incredible vibrancy of aromatics with cedar, violets, lavender, dark cherry, blackcurrant, rhubarb, poached plum and sweet Middle Eastern spices. The whole bunch is so controlled, with Asian spices integrating beautifully with silken sheets of black fruits and blueberry. The fruit is so […]
Add to cart Producer: By FarrLight in colour, with scents of an English Summer. Sweet strawberry, raspberry and cherry, with star anise, clove and fennel seeds. Silky, sappy, supple and mineral, very gentle mouthfeel, but totally immersing the palate in flavour. Beautifully toned wine, the fruit so fresh and pure. But it’s the lightness I love, the gentleness and ballerina […]
