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…

A beautifully crafted Pinot noir with prominent red fruit of ripe cherries and sweet raspberries with an undertone of earthy, mushroom nuances. A silky palate with berries and delicate oak components following through. To be enjoyed on its own, but well paired with a mushroom soup or crispy duck and chicken dishes. A wine to be aged for 3 � 5 years.

Our low-vigour, stony, clay-rich soil, cool maritime mesoclimate, naturally tiny yields of under 30 hl/ha and our philosophy of expressing our terroir in our wines � give rise to a certain tightness, tannin line and elevated length to balance the richness and generosity of our Pinot noir. Our Pinot noir is not overtly fruity, soft and �sweet� and it generally shows hints of that alluring savoury �…

Nice upfront fruit and some minty undertones on the nose. Some fruit cake and herbal eucalyptus tones that gives the wine an earthy character. On the palate is gentle ripe fruit with firm tannins and a supple sweetness that gives the wine a lingering aftertaste. Full bodied complex wine showing youth.

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

Full bodied and elegant yet it has richness on the mid-palate. The emphasis is put on fruit flavours through gentle extraction methods.

A big rich wine from South Africa that emanates wild berry and sweet plum aromas. Silky, velvety texture and elegance in the mouth that counterpoints its power.

Syrah is sourced from the cool, wind swept wine-growing region of Hemel-en-Aarde on the Cape's east coast. Old vines are farmed biologically maintaining natures unique balance.

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.

The Liberator, Episode 20 - Lies, Damned Lies and Statistics, 2016 The Liberator produce wines which sit just beyond South Africa's well-known and well-worn wine making regions.

A fabulous South African Merlot with some exciting age on it. Sleek with blueberry, plum, summer fruits and sophisticated oak flavours; there�s absolutely no doubt that if this mature Merlot had come from Bordeaux, it would cost twice the price. Grown by Nederburg in Groenekloof, Four-and-Twenty Blackbirds takes its name from a nursery rhyme sung to Richard as a child. Interestingly, a blackbird i…

Full of vibrant red-black fruit and with an aromatic nose reminiscent of Saint-Joseph lilies, the result is a thrilling young red that is free of the constraints and manipulated flavour profile that come with barrel-ageing. This is a very pure and naked example of the Syrah grape

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.

Opaque, almost black in colour with an aromatic and complex nose of blackberries, currants, liquorice and spices. Full bodied and structured, well balanced with ripe fruit and a lash of vanilla on the firm finish.

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