Winery of Good Hope 2006 Chenin Blanc (Helderberg)
- Best Buy
- $9
Restrained and stately, this impressive Chenin Blanc is also complex and full of flavor. Though there’s weight and round layers of flavor on the palate, the minerality gives the wine a delicate, ephemeral touch that is truly elegant.

de Trafford 2001 Straw Wine Chenin Blanc (Helderberg)
- $25
This wine is a seamless mélange of apricot nectar, honey, dried pineapple, golden raisin and orange zest. It is a sweet, fruity, not-too-viscous wine made, per the label, “from naturally dried grapes.” Well balanced throughout, and not too deep.

de Trafford 2000 Shiraz (Helderberg)
- $40
This is a very lovely choice for an evening in with its sweet plum, pepper and blackberry flavors couched in smooth, powdery tannins. A thin vein of eucalyptus and a bit of acidity complements the peppercorn finish. This is sure to please each time it is uncorked.

de Trafford 1999 Reserve Red (Helderberg)
- $35
This red blend shows its 51% Cabernet roots with strong red cherry and ripe plum fruit. Throughout, the notes of vanilla, cinnamon toast, and cream vie for attention over the likeable fruit. The snug, particulate tannins and alcohol heat make for a mouthfilling experience.

de Trafford 2001 Pinot Noir (Helderberg)
- $40
The edgy, attention-getting note of funky earth holds on through shades of cherry, cocoa and white pepper. The well-balanced acids and tannins make the fruit attractive.

de Trafford 2002 Chenin Blanc (Helderberg)
- $17
Aromas of dusty citrus, pear, cilantro and spice meet similar flavors on the palate, plus a bit of green apple. Finishes with herbs, pepper and citrus. This is well-balanced and very fresh. —K.F.
