Zippy, grassy aromas with a touch of floral sweetness typify the nose of this wine, while on the palate, good acidity and fresh flavors are balanced by a round, complex mouthfeel. A fun Sauvignon Blanc with added character, it will pair with everything from a marinated seafood salad to richer poultry dishes.

Herbs, spice and an earthy undertone of leather give this affordable sipper character and weight. The flavors of raspberry and blueberry are integrated but vibrant, and the texture smooth. An elegant choice that will pair well with almost any meat-driven dish.

Though young, this Pinotage is ready to drink now. Vibrant red fruit aromas and flavors are matched with attractive accents of cocoa powder, light coffee, anise and black pepper. The mouthfeel is smooth but structured with medium acidity and fine but firmly present tannins. Try with grilled lamb chops.

A very rich nose of toast, honey and a touch of orange give this Chardonnay an impressive start. Lemon and orange flavors mingling with minerality offer a fresh but elegant edge. Pretty and a lovely balance of Old and New World styles.

From Tygerberg, this attractive Cabernet offers smoked sausage and spice on the nose and a wonderful balance of pepper, smoke and juicy fruit on the palate. It’s assertive and ageable but good now. A hint of restrained minerality means it will pair well with myriad foods.
