A delicate and complex barrel-fermented Sauvignon Blanc. Lime yellow in colour. Inviting notes of orange blossoms and white pepper with hints of red grapefruit and dried herbs. A flinty, chalky, textured wine with hints of granite, a soft acidity and good length. Riper whiffs of dried apricots and candied sweets complete this interesting and unusual picture.
An elegant, medium-bodied Iberian-inspired blend. Dark and broody on the nose with blackberry, rosemary and hints of violets and black peppercorns. Red cherry and an iron-rich minerality (derived from clay and granite-rich soils) dominate the palate. It is a wine with rolling red and black notes and a long, lingering finish.
Tempranillo (50%), Monastrell (25%), Carinena (25%)

Sangiovese (97%), Barbera (3%)
A velvety opulent wine made with the Cape’s own grape Pinotage blended with noble varieties. Rich and intriguing aromas and flavours with exploding layers of red fruits with notes of ripe plums, red velvet cake and tobacco.
