TASTING NOTES: Beautiful salmon pink colour with strawberry fruit flavours. Light yeasty aromas, good freshness on the nose and a rich creamy complexity on the palate. Fine mousse with a great length of flavour. VINEYARD: Pinot Noir planted on Table Mountain Sandstone in Firgrove, producing 8 tons/ha. Chardonnay selected from the Riverside and Limestone Vineyards; with high natural lime in the soils in Robertson, producing 9 tons/ha. HARVEST DETAILS: Both varietals are hand picked; Chardonnay at 18-19.5ºB for fruit and elegance. Pinot Noir at 19-20ºB for complexity and length of flavour and a touch of colour. CELLAR TREATMENT: Unique approach in vinification, whereby the whole bunches are jointly pressed as a blend, in the same press. Only the quality juice was settled overnight and then fermented in stainless steel at 16ºC. After fermentation it was bottled for the secondary bottle fermentation with a minimum of 36 months yeast contact before disgorgement. (6 x 75 cl)

HARVEST & CELLAR TREATMENT: The grapes were harvested by hand, destemmed and left to cold macerate on the skins for 24 hours in stainless steel tanks at 12Cº. After maceration the grapes were pressed and fermented cool at 13-15Cº to ensure a fresh primary fruit bouquet and light pink colour. TASTING NOTES: This Rosé is a vibrant fruity wine with a lively pink hue and aromas of red berry fruit reminiscent of strawberries and raspberries. On the palate it has a fresh crisp mouthfeel with an elegant finish. SERVING: Enjoy chilled as an aperitif or with light summer salads or strawberries and cream. (12 x 75 cl)

Rich and very deep with a spicy, black berry fruit character. Subtle yet extremely complex. (6 x 75 cl)

Deep velvety red in colour showing rich mulberry and oak flavours. Packed with dark chocolate and a cassis grip on the palate. Grapes are hand picked at optimum ripeness and after de-stalking fermented dry on the skins at 26ºc for 10 days. They are then pressed and malolactic fermentation is finished in new and second fill American and French Oak barrels. The wine is then matured for 12 months in the barrel. Excellent with steak, hearty stews and roast chicken or lamb. (6 x 75 cl)

Deep, rich plummy colour. A bouquet that's intensely warm and smoky in character, with distinctive hints of spice. On the palate, the fruit emerges beautifully and is in superb symmetry with the wood. It's ready to be enjoyed now, but with further bottle maturation, this wine's excellent structure will allow hidden layers to develop in a most impressive manner (6 x 75 cl)

The fresh and brilliant fruit flavours balance this fortified wine. Perfect with most puddings and blue cheeses. (6 x 50 cl)
