Some Comments:

“Mont du Toit is a producer of cult South African Mega Reds” – Daily Mail, London

“This wonderfully flossy wine combines an impressive structure with rich, concentrated flavours” – The Sunday Telegraph Magazine, London

“ The Mont du Toit from South Africa is breathtaking, subtle and velvety” Simon Hoggart, Wine Spectator, UK

“Very complex but absolutely seamless, this is a beautiful wine and the one bottle I’d choose to exemplify the premise of this column. Sublime stuff. ” – Michael Franz, Washington Post, USA.

“A quantum leap regarding wine needs to be mentioned. One of the most remarkable is Mont du Toit.” – Mario Scheuermann, The top wines of the world, Weincompass.

”And it paid off, with Mont du Toit wines achieving cult status in “Germany overnight..” …Or in Brillat-savarin speak, definitely better than sex….” Neill Pendock, Sunday Times.
