Quirky South African version of an unusual Swiss white wine, this is mostly Merlot, with 15% Chenin Blanc, but white; the nose is delicately imprinted with rose petals, the mouth fills with white peach and quince, the whole is faintly flinty, drinkable...and a talking point!

When crafting his Merlot, the winemaker gains inspriration by opening bottles of Pomerol from the top chateaux! This has all the wonderful, velvet softness that you expect of Merlot, with ever so much more personality. On the nose, the rounded, supple fruit gains complexity from a roasted pepper and herbal character. The texture is beautifully supple, and the tannin is really refined. A lovely win…

Vibrant Pinotage, the South African grape variety, here packed with black fruit - blackberry, black plum, blueberry - overlaid with a scattering of spice.

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.

The flagship wine for this small, artisanal winery, this Bordeaux-plus-Pinotage blend is a gorgeous melange of black and red fruit, lightly dusted with spice.

Slow-ripening old-vine Syrah, cooled by sea breezes, spilling over with blueberry, blackberry and plums, with that signature Syrah pepper fragrance on the nose.

Rich yet restrained Cabernet Sauvignon from South Africa, juicy with red berries and perfumed with spicy oak and a wisp of tobacco.
