Wildekrans 2009 Barrel Selection Chenin Blanc (Bot River)
- $35
The oak is pronounced on the nose and mouth of this wine, but it’s supported by ripe fruit aromas and flavors of red apple flesh, guava and quince. It’s lush and mouthfilling, but there’s enough acidity to keep it from feeling overdone or flabby. Finishes clean with spiced tropical-fruit notes.

Wildekrans 2001 Estate Wine Pinotage (Walker Bay)
- $15
This well-balanced wine tastes deliciously Old World. Aromas of herbs, pastry dough and cocoa powder are unique to the nose. Reserved plum skin and cherry flavors blend nicely with those of meat juices, leather and dried tobacco.

Wildekrans 2001 Barrel Selection Estate Wine Pinotage (Walker Bay)
- $25
The smoky meat and cherry flavors are relatively fresh, while the feel is a bit bracing. This is nicely done, probably best paired with rustic or grilled fare. A little more time in the bottle should shine this up even more.

Wildekrans 2005 Chenin Blanc (Walker Bay)
- $15
A totally dry Chenin, and as a consequence great with food, this wine comes from the cool-climate Elgin region close to the ocean. The acidity is great, and the only thing that spoils this wine initially is a touch of sulfur, but it blows away after some time in the glass. Imported by Boutique Wine Collection.

Wildekrans 2011 Chenin Blanc (Bot River)
- $15
Dainty floral aromatics mingle with the fresh scents of white peach and melon rind. Medium weight, this has good zip on the palate that carries through to the finish. Lively lime and green plum flavors abound.

Wildekrans 2002 Estate Wine Sauvignon Blanc (Walker Bay)
- Best Buy
- $8
Aromas of stone fruit, lemon candy, fresh-mown hay and toffee meet on a lightweight palate that is rife with flinty citrus. The finish has quite an herbal streak that borders on spearmint. —K.F.

Wildekrans 2001 Reserve Estate Wine Chenin Blanc (Walker Bay)
- Best Buy
- $9
Yellow nectarine and toffee aromas are accented by hints of banana and fresh green beans. The palate is similar, less the beans. Overall, it’s crisp and fresh; finishes with nectarine, herbs and a hint of menthol. —K.F.

Wildekrans 2001 Estate Wine Sémillon (Walker Bay)
- $15
Very yellow coloring paves the way to aromas of dusty newsprint and meat juices. Dig deep to find light citrus fruit that carries to the palate with a dose of eucalyptus. Its odd notes are slightly more acceptable than the lack of body and focus. —K.F.

Lots to like in this dry, smoothly tannic Pinot. It has complex berry…
