"Pofadder is a Kasteelberg Cinsault of great delicacy and precision, showing the freshness and poise that are the hallmarks of Eben Sadie's reds. This has a lovely combination of raspberry, redcurrant and pink grapefruit flavours, fine-grained tannins and understated wood."
95 points, Tim Atkin MW, South Africa Report 2022.
"It has an open and expressive nose with wild strawberry and raspberry scents, light slatey aromas and touches of orange blossom. The palate is medium-bodied and framed by finely chiselled tannins, beautifully poised, balletic even. Tender yet intense, you will not find a better Cinsault in South Africa."
97 points, Neal Martin, Vinous.
"Proving that Cinsault can be world-class and age-worthy, the 2021 Old Vine Series Pofadder is deeper in color this year and has a focused core of crunchy red fruits and hints of roses with a lively mineral essence. Medium-bodied, the wine has an ethereal mouthfeel, fine mineral tension and an electric mid-palate that sashays with a seductive nature, revealing its complexities and secrets. With precision and finesse, the wine ends with lingering flavours of potpourri and wild raspberry. Bravo! I can't keep my hands off it."
95 points, Anthony Mueller, Robert Parker Wine Advocate.
