Delheim Grand Reserve 2017. Crafted vintage-to-bottle with the specific intention of being the most outstanding expression of the harvest, this stately wine is an eagerly anticipated collector’s item of the highest quality. The Grand Reserve 2017 shows a complex nose of dark fruits dominated by blackberries and blackcurrant followed by notes of tobacco and tomato leaf, fresh lead pencil shavings and cassis. The palate is elegantly poised with dark red fruit and a smooth chalky tannin finish that’s true to the area.

Roodeberg Classic Red Blend. This multi-varietal Cabernet Sauvignon-driven blend erupts in your glass with aromatic layers of fresh red and dark fruit, cassis and hints of spice and dark chocolate. The texture is elegant and soft with nuances of cedar oak and dark plums, supported by silky tannins that linger long after the last sip. Perfect for enjoying around the braai

Muratie Laurens Campher. This unique white blend of predominantly Chenin Blanc with smaller amounts of Sauvignon Blanc, Verdehlo and Viognier, is barrel fermented and judiciously oaked in a combination of new and older 500L French Oak barrels for 11 months. An elegant yet intense wine, it shows gorgeous stone fruit flavours of peach and apricot, hints of citrus and a fresh acidity all wrapped in creamy oak.

Eikendal Mon Désir Chardonnay 2018. This highly desirable wine is produced only in exceptional years, with the 2018 vintage crafted from grapes from the cool-climate Elgin Valley. The purity and tight framework on this wine is exceptional and with that hint of flint you can almost see yourself in Burgundy. Aromas and flavours to be expected in the wine, finely balanced by judicious oaking, include fresh citrus and orange blossoms. The trait is typical of the vineyard’s particular clone or cutting, which is traditional to the making of sparkling wine.
