‘A bold new world
style duo of 77% Syrah and 23% Mourvèdre. Rich,
wild berry flavours are reined in by Mourvèdre’s
savoury tone and dusty, spicy tannins from from 20 months in new French oak and a touch of American oak. Robust,
exuberant and youthful for enjoyment with food now and
after a few years ageing’. |

‘Bright, clear
and pale straw in colour. Fruit from 21 yr old vines deliver
complex almond, baked apple and waxy honeycomb aromas
that follow through onto the palate, with layers of fruit
and Chenin Blanc’s signature clean, balancing acidity.
Well judged oaking in new French casks (8mnths) and lees
contact add a subtle sweet spiced dimension, with a creamy
textured richness. This medium bodied wine combines old
world elegance and new world fruit, with a long, food
friendly farewell. It can be enjoyed now, with food, although
has the potential to develop for 2-3 yrs.’ (Cape

‘ Pale, white gold
hue that is bright and clear. The palate is clean and
dry, balanced by a thread of limey acidity with gentle
aromas and flavour of dried pear, subtle nuances of honey,
lanolin and minerality. This maiden vintage chardonnay
is given just a hint of oak and eight months lees contact
providing creamy breadth to the mid palate and ending
with a warm, waxy richness and hint of minerality. Gently
understated in style, the wine is ready for drinking and
is an ideal accompaniment to creamy sauced dishes and
soft cheeses.’ (Cape Wine Master) |

‘A bold new world
style duo of 77% Syrah and 23% Mourvèdre. Rich,
wild berry flavours are reined in by Mourvèdre’s
savoury tone and dusty, spicy tannins from from 20 months in new French oak and a touch of American oak. Robust,
exuberant and youthful for enjoyment with food now and
after a few years ageing’. |
