Neil Ellis Stellenbosch Chardonnay 2002 - 87 Points
'The toasted hazelnut-scented 2002 Chardonnay is silky-textured and light to medium-bodied. Tangy pears and melons are intermingled in its soft, well-crafted personality.'

Neil Ellis Groenekloof Sauvignon Blanc 2002 - 89 Points
'Elegantly defined aromas of gooseberries and tangy minerals are found in the nose of the 2002 Sauvignon Blanc. A complex, refined wine, it is reminiscent of a high quality Pouilly-Fumé. Smoky minerals, flint, and hints of melon can be discerned in its satin-textured character. This light to medium bodied effort has gorgeous mouth-feel and an impressively long finish.'
