Sauvignon Blanc, 2008
Western Cape |
The promises from the nose definitely deliver on the palate in full enthusiastic portions of passion fruit, pineapple and green pepper. Lingering aftertaste which ends in an attractive finish. Being a classic sauvignon blanc, the well-known perfume of gooseberries and peppers lingers fermentation esters: freshly mowed lawn, green peppers, herbs, fig leaves and goose berry. Tones of light green, combined with a clear, straw-color greets you from the glass. The glowing fluid luring you to smell and taste.
Also available in 187mL (2007). |

Chardonnay, 2008
Western Cape |
The first mouth-feel is that of a slight creaminess that evolves into a rich buttery aftertaste that makes the wood quite discreet in this wine. This wine is subtle, fruity and elegant
- will drink incredibly well on its own. Being a chardonnay from a warmer area, the typical citrus fruit might be less but there are definitely more of the wonderful honey, vanilla, and roasted flavors. Pale straw color.

Rosé, 2008
Western Cape |
Refreshingly crisp palate with strawberry, ruby grapefruit and watermelon. The palate is fresh and fruity but definitely not too sweet. This Rosé has a clean, crisp finish that lingers for a good 17 seconds. Abundant floral tones and strawberries on the nose. A bright, attractive deep salmon-pink color.

Dense yet subtle; dry yet succulent; Vanilla, combined with spices come through in the aftertaste where it is very well-integrated with a hint of wood. Lingers pleasantly before fading gracefully. Smokey spices, with woody undertones and hints of dark berries. Dark ruby color.

Cabernet/Shiraz/Merlot
(CSM), 2007
Western Cape |
Rich, lightly smoky tobacco-leaf nose greets you first, followed by ripe berries and hints of mint and promises of licorice. Definite berry character on the palate with a tannin structure that should soften well during maturation. A rich, smooth wine that is well-balanced with a delightfully subtle aftertaste.
