Well-regarded entry level old-vine Chenin (planted 1960s to mid-70s) from the esteemed Badenhorst estate.  Word from Swartland is that 2025 was a dream vintage.  Vigneron's notes:  Flinty aromas with notes of honey, orange blossom, and white stone fruit.  It has exceptional texture and palate weight, with lovely, concentrated flavours.

Beautifully complex, with a big aroma profile and pronounced grapefruit, quince, and spice flavours.  The mouthfeel is grippy with a refreshing tannin structure. - Vigneron's notes

67% Chenin Blanc, 16% Grenache Blanc, 10% Roussanne, 7% Viognier, vines planted in 1972.

GSM named after the large clay vessels used by the Georgians since long before recorded history.  Serve slightly chilled.

Full bodied Pinotage with aromas of coffee, dark fruit, and dark chocolate.

"A classic Cabernet with cedar spice and pencil shaving aromatics. Dense dark ruby red/black colour with ripe plums and integrated oak on the nose. Full flavoured palate and firm structure. Supple, yet fresh. Great potential for ageing and further development for the next 6-8 years."

Merlot mellows and adds more layers to great African Cab grown in a healthy chemical-free vineyard. Very ripe with blackberry and spice, and with enough structure to continue developing another 3-5 years. 

A fresh-style chardonnay with citrus and dried stone fruit, and a subtle oakiness. Great now or after some time in the cellar.

Light bodied, herbaceous and savoury. An excellent introduction to an interesting and unfamiliar grape!

Skin fermented Pinot Gris that blurs the lines between Orange, Rose, and Red wines. Dark pink colour and strawberry, watermelon, and blue cheese aromas.
