The colour is pale, with a beautiful green apple tint. The nose shows ripe green apple, apple blossom, beeswax & fynbos honey notes. The palate is crisp & clean
- lemon sorbet-like however has some more palate weight than one normally would expect. There is a great interplay between the naturally retained residual sugar & the acidity. Generally regarded as restrained, it displays typical Riesling 'nervousness'. The mineral core, which is linked to the shale rich soils in which the vines grow, astounds. It is the reason for the wine structure & the lingering after taste. Perfect hot weather wine
- very refreshing.

The colour is clear & bright, with a hint of green. The nose is clean & fresh with expressive granadilla, grape fruit, gooseberry & black currant characteristics. These flavours follow through onto the palate which has a lovely creamy texture
- the result of extended lees contact & the higher Semillon portion. The ideal wine aperitif but best enjoyed with food. Refreshing summer time wine, it pairs well with salads & lighter meats. Richer seafood & cheese platters make it work through autumn & winter.

The essence of a great Pinot noir is the purity of fruit & the structure of the wine. This wine has this essence, substantiated by its natural acidity. The colour has a wonderful luminosity, reminiscent of ripe cherries. The nose holds a combination of red berry, spice, mushrooms & dark chocolate. The palate is a continuation of all found on the nose. Structured & poised, with a tantalising mineral core. The natural acidity makes it a perfect partner with a diversity of dishes. Game fish, game birds & venison work very well, as does grilled beef & strong, hard cheese. ...

Enigma Verte is an outstanding, unfiltered premium absinthe made from a combination of aromatic herbs & plants, including grande & petite wormwood, anise, fennel & hyssop. It uses a grape-base alcohol & is bottled at 72 degrees centigrade, in order to hold its natural green colour & present its aromas to the fullest. Made by following the distillery's own technique of distilling each plant separately, blending the resulting full alcohol distillates & then finishing with an 'esprit vert' ('green spirit'
- a natural maceration of additional plants in grape spirits, including veronica, a.k.a.'speedwell'
- adding tea-like aromas) which is mixed in during the final colouring stage of production. It louches beautifully, & is complex & intense. Sure to please those who are searching for a spicy, yet traditional absinthe. It represents one of the best quality/cost values in modern traditional absinthes. Enigma Verte is the new name for Verte de Fougerolles. The label has been revamped with a design that celibrates the combination of mystery & Art Nouveau that defines the spirit of absinthe. The absinthe remains exactly the same, only the name & look have changed. Why has this been done? Because of a continuing expansion into multiple international markets, it was found that many customers who couldn't speak French were having trouble pronouncing & remembering the name ' Fougerolles!'

The 2014 Cabernet Sauvignon from the Beckstoffer To Kalon Vineyard is densely saturated garnet in the glass. Strikingly focused aromatics of crushed graphite, cedar, sage, & cigar box precede flavours of mountain black cherry, wild blackberry & currant wafting in high wattage power from the glass. The mouthfeels full weight & roundness are framed by waves of silky yet pronounced tannins, which crescendo into a long, elegant finish that exhilarates the palate. ...
