Old bush vine Cinsault forms the backbone of this 'proper' rosé. A pale, spicy and textural Rosé mostly sourced from bush-vine Cinsault with summer fruits on the palate and a lovely clean, savoury, dry finish.

Wild yeast fermentation, low yields and ageing in large French oak foudre are what defines this savoury and appealing Syrah. Full yet elegant with bramble fruits and also some earth and meaty aromas.

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.

A low yielding site in Robertson produces the 100% Chardonnay needed for this excellent wine. A tiny amount of oak but this wine is really about the bright mineral fruit and acidity.

Vin de Constance was one of the great wines of the early 19th Century enjoyed by Napoleon, Dickens and Jane Austen. 100% naturally sweet Muscat, peach, pear and tangerine.

A stunning Riesling from Elgin, with aromatic complexity, purity of fruit, and minerality in spades.

From the Simonsberg district of Stellenbosch, a wonderful Pinotage Rose. Full of summer fruit flavours, it is crisp, fresh and delicious.

One of the best South African Roses we have tasted. Subtle and serious, bone dry but with ripe fruit, pepper and spice. All with a delightful onion skin colour. Excellent value.

A complex wine that keeps you going back to my glass with a fusion of savoury and sage notes and supple raspberry and dark fruit.

Produced on the poor soils of the Schrepenberg Mountain in Stellenbosch, a wine that possesses great minerality and structure. Chenin Blanc, Sauvingon Blanc and Semillon aged on lees and oak. Excellent tension of tropical fruit and mineral core.
