Bursting with dark berry flavours of blackberry, dark cherry and plums, this Shiraz has soft and supple tannins and a white pepper finish.

Originally the grape comes from Spain and France where it is mostly used to enhance blends. Mourv�dre's dark, thick-skinned berries result in powerful spicy and sometimes gamey aromas in their youth. This unique wine was made from a small parcel of Mourv�dre with a low crop yield of 4 tons/ha. Grapes were harvested at full ripeness, cold soaked, fermented in concrete tanks and allowed a post macer…

An intriguing, inviting blend of red summer fruits, spring fynbos flowers, Indian spice and just a hint of toasty oak on the nose. The palate is surprisingly decadent, rich, with almost creamy tannins. You�ll find raspberries, blackberries, ripe plum and a hint of pepper, spice and leather on the palate. It is balanced, with just the tiniest prod of refreshing, salty acid, like a playful poke of N…

Dark purple in colour. Smoky notes with intense dark fruit aromas framed by oak spice. Fleshy dark fruit continue on the palate with firm tannins and lingering flavours of spice and dark coffee. Full-bodied with well-balanced fruit acidity and integrated tannins.

Elegant, fresh cherry and red berry nose. The palate is pure with lovely texture and focused sweet cherry fruit dominates with spicy undertones. The wine is fresh and intense with real vibrancy

Classic Pinotage aromas of spicy mulberries, plum pudding and cherries, with more subtle hints of smoky bacon. Juicy and accessible with a soft palate and delicious fruit concentration

Beautiful perfumed plum on the nose, together with appetising scents of roasted red peppers and a hint of tobacco. In the mouth, soft to begin with, then impressive intensity, body and structure.

The Newton Johnson Full Stop Rock wine is how we define this jagged landscape on the bottom slopes of Newton Johnson. Robust vines like Syrah, Grenache, and Mourv�dre, thrive in this type of rocky soil. We were encouraged to discover bright and invigorating wines with compact black fruit, spice, perfume, and sophisticated tannins.

This wine has a complex nose of mint, blackcurrant and chocolate and the palate is juicy and ripe. There is a good layer of toasty oak in the background to complement the black cherry and cassis fruit flavours and grippy mid-palate tannin. Very long, clean and elegant on the finish.

Spicy aromas of black pepper and mulberry mingle with the plum flavours in this soft and approachable wine.

Deep, dark fruit aromas. Good purity of fruit on the palate, creamy blackcurrants with soft tannins on the finish
