Platter’s Wine Guide on Haskell Vineyards
No small task, it must be said. A team of tasters work their way through literally thousands of wines, sorting the wheat from the chaff and finalising an ordered heirarchy of quality for South African wine.
We’re delighted that each and every Haskell wine has this year received 4 1/2 Stars.
Quality and consistency have been two elements that we see as hallmarks of the brand, and these ratings reinforce that we are delivering on that goal. It is a portfolio of wines that we’re rightly proud of.
Of course, they are available for tasting at the Haskell Vineyards cellar door, seven days a week. |
