Fleur Du Cap Wines

Sort By:

Fleur Du Cap 2007 Unfiltered Cabernet Sauvignon (Stellenbosch)

Price $22

The nose of this Cab is very inviting with heady aromas of black cherry, cassis and blueberry infused with leather and woody spice. More of the same unfolds on the palate with cedar notes supporting the dark fruit. The mouthfeel is round and full but structured with tightly woven tannins carrying through the long finish. — L.B.

Fleur Du Cap 2005 Chardonnay (Stellenbosch)

Best Buy

Price $13

This barrel-fermented Chardonnay has a lively nose of apricot and melon. It’s zesty, but has a balanced weight and complexity of nut and toasted oak that gives it substance. Delicious and intriguing, it will pair well with oysters and smoked seafood. — S.K. (3/1/2007)

Fleur Du Cap 2008 Wooded Chenin Blanc (Western Cape)

Best Buy

Price $10

This Chenin starts with aromas of vanilla, spice and honey, followed by upfront flavors of peaches, honey and spice. Fun but elegant, with a balanced freshness that keeps it clean on the tongue. Pair with creamy cheeses, fruit. — S.K. (3/1/2010)

Fleur Du Cap 2006 Unfiltered Cabernet Sauvignon (Stellenbosch)

Price $22

This wine has a spicy nose of black currant, blueberry and red berry, and on the palate, like flavors are touched with a smoke and tobacco spin. Structure and balance further recommend it. Overall, a luscious, appealing Cabernet. — S.K. (6/1/2009)

Fleur Du Cap 2005 Unfiltered Cabernet Sauvignon (Coastal Region)

Online Exclusive

Price $22

A savory, rich nose of smoked meats and spices is the start of this elegant red, and on the palate, smooth, integrated leather, berry and spiced meat flavors give it a sultry edge. Though good now, the wine could benefit from being held for 2-3 years. — S.K. (11/15/2008)

Fleur Du Cap 2001 Unfiltered Merlot (Coastal Region)

Price $23

Many South African Merlots show some bell pepper components, like this one. It can sometimes be overwhelming, but in this case it adds nuance to nice flavors of blueberry, coffee and pekoe tea. It’s more powerful on the nose, where it’s joined by chocolate, coffee, blueberry and mesquite aromas, but doesn’t affect the lively, full-bodied mouthfeel or long, juicy… — M.D. (12/31/2006)

Fleur Du Cap 2008 Bergkelder Selection Cabernet Sauvignon (Coastal Region)

Best Buy

Price $12

Blackberry, plum and pepper on the nose are followed by red and black berries, vanilla/nuts and tobacco on the palate. A spicy, somewhat masculine style that is rounded off slightly by ripe fruit. The finish is lively. Pair with lamb or stew. — S.K. (3/1/2010)

Fleur Du Cap 2005 Sauvignon Blanc (Stellenbosch)

Best Buy

Price $10

Tropical fruit flavors of melon and passionfruit shine on the nose of this approachable SB. The wine is medium-bodied and multi-layered, but the acidity creates a clean, cutting edge that plays off of the fruit. Both lively and robust. — S.K. (7/1/2007)
