| Description: |
|
The grapes for Kaapse Vonkel are picked early in the harvest to retain the natural acidity and low pH levels. Whole bunch pressing yields the most delicate flavours for the cuvee. The pale straw colour shows that the Kaapse Vonkel 1995 is made from the most gently pressed grapes and very little extraction from the skin occurs. The colour is still fresh and youthful and the nose shows ripe red grape fruit flavours and a yeasty bouquet of freshly baked bread. The mousse is extremely fine and creamy on the palate and it helps to bring out the delicious biscuity flavours. Three years of development has added depth and complexity which will proceed over time. The style is full with firm structure and weight on the palate and a clean Brut finish. www.simonsig.co.za (4 x 1.5 Litres)

Houghton JACK MANN Cabernet Western Australia
Description: Classical Cabernet Sauvignon parcels were selected from Frankland River and Mt Barker vineyards. Gravely loam soils and 30 year old vines produced fruit of intensity and power. Minimal handling of the wine in every aspect of its development has enhanced the fruit complexity. Maturation for 20 months in 70% new and 30% 2 year old French oak was then followed by bottle maturation prior to release. Houghton Jack Mann is a fragrant and lifted wine with cassis, mulberry and bay leaf aromas, given further complexity by spicy oak, cinnamon and nutmeg characters. The qualities found in the bouquet are reflected on a finely structured and well balanced palate, while a soft velvety texture and sweet tannins complete this distinguished wine. Extended careful cellaring for 10-15 years will see this wine develop in complexity, further enhancing the fruit, oak and tannin. (6 x 75 cl)
