Despite the rather high alcohol, this one presents lightly refreshing stone fruit, some lemony citrus and very sound overall balance. Finishes with pleasing honey citrus lift.
Fresh floral and yellow fruit scents lead the way for delicate lemon citrus, melon and tropical fruit, supported by firm mineral and lively acidity. Medium-length finish.
This bargain-priced Syrah from the warm, dry Swartland region is dense purple-black in colour. It has a smoky nose of blackberries and roasted herbs, reminding me of a Syrah from the northern Rhône with its savoury, smoky black-cherry flavour, well-integrated oak and soft tannins.
Wow! Just wow! Made from low yields and fermented in old barrels, this wine is an absolute beauty with toast, honey, flowers, yeast, white peach, apple and cream. Full in the mouth; there is good mousse and a superb finale. Perfect for celebrating the upcoming holiday season.
You won’t find a better red Bordeaux at this price! This is old-style claret — dense purple in colour with a cedary, blackcurrant nose lifted with a floral note. It’s medium-bodied, dry and elegant — and great value.
Ruby colour. Small red and black fruits, kirsch. Quite concentrated and tight but ripe, fruity taste. Good grip from the tannins, not too much oak, overall well balanced. Made each year from selected lots from the co-op members, this is a reliable name at a good price.
Deep ruby colour with a violet hue; light cedar and sour cherry bouquet; medium-bodied, dry, sour cherry flavour, firmly structured with zesty acidity and a firm tannic finish.
