The name "Les Horées" derives from Greek mythology. Catharina Sad (owner/winemaker) says there are many different interpretations, but she describes "Les Horées" as marking the change in seasons. The goddesses of the seasons are called "Horae" (hours).

Jasper Morris:

"Tiny yields, there were ducks in the vineyard, mildew and couldn’t be ploughed. Two barrels instead of twelve. No skin contact, but still with a certain richness. Lovely tangy aftertaste and ripe fruit flavours. Still easily fresh enough at the finish, a little spicy note even, long and charming fruit all the way through. "
