Neal Martin
The 2024 Treinspoor is pure Tinta Barocca that Sadie said he loves the most, though he had to drop a lot of fruit in this vintage due to the dryness, around 35%. This blooms on the nose with sensual red berry fruit, rooibos, Earl Grey and light minerally scents, beautifully defined and focused. The palate is medium-bodied with a sappy opening, impressive density and weight, very pure and perhaps the most sensual of Sadie`s OVS this vintage. Just a light tang of cracked black pepper on the finish. Excellent. 94 points

`One of the greatest Mediterranean grapes,` says Eben Sadie of Tinta Barroca, although he concedes that it needs time in bottle as well as the glass. A red for fans of Italian wines - it reminds me of Sagrantino - Treinspoor is dense, chewy and a little scary, with violet, thyme, tar and liquorice aromas and flavours of damson and plum skin complemented by chewy tannins. 95 points
