South Africa

waterkloof image
Most of South Africa's wine regions are found around the Western Cape where the ocean current and wind cools the otherwise hot climate.  A compelling blend of tradition and innovation, from the crisp Sauvignon Blancs to rich Chenin Blancs, the most widely grown grape, the whites are vibrant and diverse.  Red wines, like the uniquely South African Pinotage, showcase ripe, fruity flavors alongside earthy notes.  Bordeaux blends and Cabernet Sauvignons also excel, offering structure and complexity.

  • Wine
    A harmoniuosly integrated blend with great length that combines the spiciness of the Syrah, the fresh fruits of the Petit Verdot and the juiciness from the Merlot. The beginning is fresh and fruity with good acidity, evolving into riper flavours and herbaceous notes, with elegant tannins and fine, bright acid in the finish.
  • Wine
    A fine and seamless blend of 3 classic white grapes. Sauvignon Blanc aromas are prominent on the nose, with lime and prickly pear notes. A tight mineral core and creamy mid palate from the Chenin Blanc gives complexity and a persistent finish while a small proportion of Semillon adds texture and depth.
  • Wine
    A stunning Chenin Blanc from Boutinot in Stellenbosch. Barrel fermented, lees contact and oak matured. Stunning, rich, ripe fruit balanced by acidity.
  • Wine
    An elegant rendition of this often unruly varietal. Ripe, dark fruit with graphite notes on the nose with wild herb and lifted red berry aromas. Robust and concentrated with the dense yet fine tannins typical of the variety and with a freshness and lightness of touch, thanks to high natural acidity and moderate alcohol.
  • Wine
    Crushed laurel on the nose along with lime and goosberries and a lightly salty tang. This is a ripe and textured style of Sauvignon, with good concentration of citrus and stone fruit characters and fennel hints, this richness is balanced by taut, mineral acidity.
  • Wine
    The wine is matured for 18 months in 300L French oak barrels, allowing the fruit and tannin components to harmonise. With one third new oak, the wood supports and elevates the wine’s ample complexity and bold structure without overshadowing its natural expression.
  • Wine
    Whole-bunch pressing, the juice undergoes natural fermentation in oak barrels. Extended barrel maturation, with occasional lees stirring, promotes fullness and roundness. The wine is aged for 11 months in 400L French oak barrels, 20% of which are new.
  • Wine
    Full bodied. Rich, soft and luscious, matured for 18 months in French oak barrels, restrained use of one third new oak enhances complexity and structure without overshadowing the natural exuberance of the Merlot
  • Wine
    Aromas of sweet black cherry a hint of blueberry, and sultry smoky nuances lift from the glass, carrying through to the palate and linger with depth and resonance.
  • Wine
    The nose has an immediate attack of lemongrass and grapefruit with notes of hay and fennel. The palate has a rich textural mouthfeel of lanolin and waxy lemons. Pithy, affermatively tart with bright acidity this would be a joyous accompaniment to oily fish or green curries.
