## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ SA Blend wins
*by M***R on 1 June 2025*

Was introduced to Neil Ellis via a trusted source. As fans of SA wines know, there’s no one who do blends better than the Western Cape producers. And this one doesn’t fail to impress.Maybe slightly on the dry side which is why I didn’t give 5-stars. But that may be down to its age.But love the producer and looking forward to sampling more of their range.
