This is an absolute belter of a wine from Jean Smit. Gloriously aromatic with strawberry and dark cherry fruit, spice and mocha. The mouthfeel is succulent and layered with red fruit, dark chocolate, earth and just a touch of truffle. L&S (Mar 2022)

The 2020 Pinot Noir Elgin comes from five blocks on a south-facing incline on bokkeveld shale and aged in 25% new oak. It has an overtly black plum scented nose that almost borders on Syrah in style, well defined with redcurrant, cranberry and hints of brown spice following through. The palate is medium-bodied with edgy tannins, well judged acidity, fresh with a touch of salinity that gets the saliva flowing on the finish. Lovely. Rating: 90 Neal Martin, www.vinous.com (Sept 2022)

Produced with two different clones - 667 for structure and 777 for fruit, according to Jean Smit - this comes from a cooler, south-facing site on shale soils. Spicy and supple, with smoky bacon, cherry and wild strawberry flavours and good underlying backbone. Drinking range: 2022 - 2026 Rating: 93 Tim Atkin MW, www.timatkin.com (Sept 2022)

Moya Meaker

Canadian businessman and former owner of Bordeaux’s Chateau Gaby, David Curl married South African born Genevieve Hamilton-Brown which ultimately led them to Elgin where they acquired a farm called Habibi, planted mainly to apples but also including small parcels of Pinot Noir and Shiraz, the resulting wines named after Genevieve’s late mother Moya Meaker, who was crowned Miss South Africa in 1959.
