Sadie Family Swartland Kokerboom 2022
$155.00“This is a wonderful expression of his Citrusdal Mountain farm, and something of a tribute to Henk Laing, the grower who passed away last year. Combining Semillon with around 15% interplanted Semillon Gris, this is less exotic than it can be, showing layers of honeysuckle, saffron, citrus and herbs supported by fresh, sappy minerality, a […]

Alheit Vineyards Cartology 2022
$85.00“‘It was a vintage that gave you the chance to show what you were made of,’ says Chris Alheit of the ‘middling 2022 growing season’. It certainly did. This is a brilliant cuvée of Chenin Blanc with 8% Semillon, sourced from ten different vineyards. Showing lots of energy from early picked grapes on granite soils, it has […]

Eperosa Magnolia Blanc #3 NV
$40.00A non-vintage semillon assemblage of 50/25/25% 2022/2023/2021 vintages from 1941, 1971 and 1975 plantings in Vine Vale. I love these sort of wines. They’re delicious but they get you thinking about the art of winemaking, site and season. It’s a textural, saline-edged ride with bright lemony fruit, but there’s also spice, dried honey, liminal curry […]

Alheit Vineyards Monument Semillon 2022
$165.00“The best Semillon site in South Africa” is how Chris Alheit describes Anton and Koos Roux’s 1936 La Colline vineyard, which “performed very well in a tough vintage”. Leesy, herbal, layered, textured and dense, this has palate-coating intensity and complexity, aniseed, crème fraiche and grapefruit pith flavours and a hint of stone fruit sweetness” – 99 points Tim Atkin […]
