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.

"Complex and attractive bouquet of oriental spices with pronounced violet and white pepper flavours. It has lovely perfumed red fruit aromatics. A well-balanced wine with spicy overtones and a lingering finish. Very classic style with unmistakable Rhone flavours. Good to drink now, but will develop and mature over the next 10 years."

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.
