All the hallmarks of a classic Merlot with ripe plums & earthy notes supported by a core of minerality & fleshed out with ripe strawberry, forest underfloor, hint of chocolate, & a deepening of dark black berry laced with a hint caramel & oak spice. The savoury palate is coated in sweet attractive oak with distinct salty edge. Medium bodied, fresh yet serious with good line of acidity & clean to end. Aged for 14 months in French Oak barrels. ...

The 2017 Big Easy is arguably the most serious & riveting vintage yet. The dry vintage was conducive to producing a superbly concentrated, beguiling wines that dazzle the senses. It is a shade darker with a black core, offering a brooding nose that takes time to unfold. Complexity is revealed with elegantly ripe blackberry, liquorice, fine Chinese spice & smoked herbs. A majority of Shiraz cloaks the palate with fruit-laden tannins, covered in melted milk chocolate & Morello cherries. 20% Cabernet Sauvignon adds a backbone of minerality & definition, while equal parts of Cinsault, Mouvdre, Grenache & Viognier add a Mediterranean feel. It shows solid grip & power in its youth, suggesting up to a decade of maturation. ...

This Big Easy is 100% Chenin Blanc & shimmering in 2017. It shows early promise of another fine Cape vintage that offers elegant ripeness & fine freshness. It is dominated by richly textured, pure fruit of apricots, pineapple & granny smith. More classical notes of lanolin & wet earth lay underneath, adding further complexity & layers. A hint of spice & citrus acidity brings on a long & lively finish. ...

A terrific follow up to the profound 2015, this is a pure, regal & pedigreed Cabernet Sauvignon. It shows a black core & crimson edge, offering a brightness to the densely ripe fruit. The decadence on the nose reminds of milk chocolate melted over baked blueberries, Morello cherries & cream. It is full in body with chalky tannins, imbued by rich texture & salty liquorice on the finish which delivers finesse & serious length. The palate is rather towering, deep & somewhat closed on release. It will drink well for a decade or more. ...

The medium bodied 2012 Merlot shows the sparkle of the vintage with a fresh acidity & delicate red fruits. Laced with ripe plums, morello cherry, shavings of milky chocolate & a hint of mint, it is dazzlingly complex & yet shows its pedigree of exceptional drinkability & class. Soft, chewy tannins balance the silky, oak-aged structure, whilst the palate eventually ends with whiffs of fine tobacco & earthy spice. Tantalising & delicious in its youth, the 2012 will age well for 5 years or more. Limited stock. ...

The 2016 Merlot is medium in body & textbook in character. Classically built, it offers a mlange of stewed fruit, chocolate & spice from the nose through to the exotic palate. Notes of dry earth & hints of mint offer complexity, while classy oak notes intertwine with masses of ripe, succulent fruit. A fresh acidity nicely balances the ripe berries & savoury stance, while gutsy tannins offer some good tension & depth. The finish is powerfully textured & dry, offering a platform for 5
- 8 years cellaring.

A terrific vintage for Syrah where the warmer conditions assisted in an incredibly powerful, yet finely tuned wine. Inky violet with a black core, the nose opens to smoked beef, dense blueberry, a touch of cassis & hints of scorched earth. The palate is plush & inviting with ingrained dark chocolate, gamey spice & even a hint of black truffle. The polished tannins appear to be coated with eternal layers of sweet fruit. The finish is long & clear with a freshness & savoury edge balancing the purity of fruit. Utterly balanced for immediate enjoyment, it will age well for up to a decade. Veritas Wine Awards 2013

The distinctive Proprietors Blend is bold & invigorating from start to finish. This Bordeaux blend with the addition of Shiraz offers a balance of seamless structure & elegant generosity. Notes of sweet black & blueberry coulis dance on the nose, & with time, floral aromatics are coaxed from the glass. Medium to full-bodied, the intense cherry-laced core finishes with a whiff of mint & dried Provencal herbs. American & French oak is finely woven into the long finish, providing layers for further of ageing potential over 10 years. ...

The 2015 Sauvignon Blanc shows zingy, bright, tropical fruits that abound from the nose & palate. A mlange of guava, pineapple & lemon curd lead to a medium bodied but intensely flavoured, textured palate. Hints of wet earth & bell pepper give complexity & depth, albeit in a soft & comforting manor. The linear finish shows a mineral, gravelly edge that balances the pure-fruited stance. This is amazingly open & entertaining while young & shows the terrific 2015 vintage. Limited stock. ...
