South African Fine Wine
Wines included
Thistle & Weed 'Duwweltjie' Chenin Blanc, Paarl 2021
From a windswept Certified Heritage vineyard planted in 1961, whose gnarled old vines bring both intensity and subtlety to the energy and structure of this impressive multi-layered chenin. The name comes from a three-pronged thorn of the caltrop family, as depicted on the attractive label.
Minimalist 'No Place Like Home' Elgin 2021
A new Cape benchmark syrah, beautifully expressing the cool and windswept sites where it is grown and bringing out the fresh pepper and violet fragrance of the finest examples of the grape.
Kanonkop Estate Pinotage, Simonsberg-Stellenbosch 2020
Abrie Beeslaar and Kanonkop are masters of the pinotage grape and their Estate wine is one of South Africa's finest. Rich, supple and expressive in 2020, this is packed with all the sweet red fruit and spice notes lovers of pinotage are sure to enjoy with a savoury edge and impressive concentration.
Miles Mossop 'Max', Stellenbosch 2019
A modern South African classic blending cabernets sauvignon and franc with merlot and petit verdot. Its bouquet of sweet fruit, with touches of spice and graphite flows through to a plush palate.
Botanica Mary Delany Collection Chenin Blanc, Citrusdal Mountain 2022
Elegantly honed chenin from a high-altitude vineyard planted in 1960, labelled in tribute to the late Henk Laing who farmed it. 2022 delivered lower alcohol but the wine has plenty of substance, with typical citrus and fynbos aromas.
Newton Johnson Family Vineyards Chardonnay, Upper Hemel en Aarde Valley 2021
Refined barrel-fermented chardonnay which blends fruit from three granite vineyard parcels whose differing aspects each add further complexity to the wine. The ancient soils and cool maritime climate of the Hemel-en-Aarde valley are ideal for growing high-quality chardonnay.
