South Africa

A pale, straw-like yellow colour with a bright green hue. The nose gives great tension and poise brimming with roasted almonds, sweet cashew, Turkish delight, lime zest, apricot and orange marmalade, wild honey and pineapple.

A Bordeaux blend from the Banghoek Valley, this has an abundance of dark, curranty fruit and distinctive South African earthiness, with just a touch of balsamic on the finish.

Mineral, fine and uplifting with bright acidity and fine tannins that lift the ripe Syrah fruit to a freshness and vitality seldom found in Swartland. The mean, slatey soils give further minerality to the palate which finishes long, broad and bright.

Bright, expressive, and gently savoury on the nose. In spite of its blushing hue, there is a symphony of deep flavours here including; hoisin sauce, fresh cherries, star anise and plum. Great served slightly chilled.

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 stunning Chenin Blanc from Boutinot in Stellenbosch. Barrel fermented, lees contact and oak matured. Stunning, rich, ripe fruit balanced by acidity.

The Silver Myn Sauvignon Blanc is a deliciously drinkable wine with crisp, ripe, mineral flavours balanced by clean acidity.

The wine has a bright hue with a golden straw colour. It displays a refreshing nose of bright pear and peach blossoms with subtle lemon meringue and notes of freshly rolled oats. Crisp apple and chalky citrus are infused with mild layers of Crème Brulé, spun sugar and floral potpourri.

The wine has a delicate, pale straw colour with a slight green edge. It displays an aromatic kaleidoscope, rich with perfumed peach blossom, white pear, passion fruit and lime. These wonderful aromas prevail on the palate with added guava, pineapple, potpourri and a hint of nettle. The roundness of the palate is perfectly balanced by a steely mineral zest and enjoyable long finish.

A really excellent wine! From a historic site of old vine Chenin Blanc, rich, tropical fruit is balanced by clean acidity.
