Description

Hartenberg Estate, Cabernet Sauvignon 2017

In Tim Atkin’s South Africa 2021 report he describes Hartenberg’s regular estate releases as ‘…some of the best value in Stellenbosch…’ and we couldn’t agree more. A great expression of Stellenbosch Cabernet Sauvignon, this wine marries vibrant dark fruit with aromas of tobacco, cedar wood and mint.

Kanonkop, Kadette Cape Blend 2018

Aromas of redcurrant, cherry, spice and a touch of mocha. The palate is lively and fresh, with succulent raspberry flavours supported by a firm, yet silky tannin structure.

GlenWood, Vigneron’s Selection Shiraz 2018

An elegant Shiraz with black pepper spice and smoky aromas pervaded by a ripe, fruit driven profile. Full-bodied with supple, vibrant fruit and tannins. Aged for 18 Months in 2nd fill barrels.

Black Oystercatcher, Triton Shiraz 2016

Spicy and slightly oaky with hints of raspberry, blackberry, violet and herbs. Smooth with soft tannins, complimented by a plump mouthfeel at the end. Enjoy with red meats or chocolate.

Glenelly, Glass Collection Merlot 2018

One of Stellenbosch’s finest Merlot offerings from the former owner of Pichon Lalande, the world famous Bordeaux Estate. Silky and floral with attractive red berry fruit, well integrated oak and undertones of graphite, tea leaf and cedar wood.

Catherine Marshall, Pinot Noir on Sandstone Soils 2019

The Sandstone soils bring out a broad spectrum of pleasing aromatics in this cool-climate Pinot Noir from Elgin. Juicy pomegranate, cranberry and red cherry flavours are supported by suede-like, dry tannins for giving the wine texture and complexity
