Crystallum The Agnes Chardonnay 2023
$55.00Sea shells, flint and yellow stone fruits show on the nose ahead of a full, mouth-coating palate with elements of golden delicious apple, salted caramel, lime and beeswax. The finish is saline and long, recalling the ocean with a nori-like character to the lingering aftertaste. Generous but expertly balanced. Winemaker’s Notes

Beeslaar Pinotage 2023
$100.00From a 2.5 ha vineyard, dry grown, shale soils and old bush vines. Open top fermentation, followed by 20 months in French oak barriques. Very simple stuff, but the wine is far from simple. Intense aromas of blackberry, blood plum, mulberry and cassis. Rich and full bodied, remarkably elegant – svelte even, considering the size […]

Crystallum Mabalel Pinot Noir 2024
$85.00Peter-Allan Finlayson avoids using any whole clusters on Mabalel, as the Elandskloof stems tend to be greener and less lignified. Very much a cool climate style, it has impressive poise, focus and elegance, sappy redcurrant and wild strawberry fruit, perfumed 20% new wood, appealing zip and minerality and the structure to evolve gracefully in bottle.

Alheit Vineyards Hemelrand Vine Garden 2021
$80.00The 2021 Hemelrand Vine Garden is one of Chris Alheit’s biggest successes and encapsulates everything great about his wine. Initially quite neutral, it reveals wondrous sea spray, honeysuckle, Provençal herbs and hints of powdered chalk on the nose. The palate has exquisite balance, very cohesive and intense, yet the acidity keeps this so fresh with […]

Thorne and Daughters Rocking Horse Cape White Blend 2023
$48.00The wine is composed from a number of carefully selected vineyard sites in the Western Cape. The 2023 vintage is one of layers and tension, with aromas of flint, peach and jasmine. The palate follows with gentle tropical notes, vanilla and yuzu on a tightly coiled finish. Winemaker’s Notes

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 […]

Alheit Vineyards Huilkrans Chenin Blanc 2023
$165.00“Huilkrans comes from Jozua Visser’s Oudam farm, located at 450 metres in an isolated spot on Citrusdal Mountain, sometimes called the Skurfberg. Planted between 1974 and 1978, the vines are all dry-farmed, producing yields of almost painful paucity. Fermented in old barrels before ageing on lees for 12 months, this sings with what Chris Alheit […]

Thorne and Daughters Menagerie Pinotage 2022
$40.00Thorne and Daughters ‘Menagerie’ Pinotage is the contemporary face of Pinotage, a grape that is extremely versatile in the cellar and at table. Carbonic maceration followed by ageing in neutral oak for 9 months. It’s tangy, with the grape’s trademark sandy tannins providing precision, rails and length. Bloody plum, rhubarb, raspberry, cocoa powder and cherry. […]

Alheit Vineyards Hemelrand Vine Garden 2022
$90.00“One of my picks from Alheit this year. Excellent…This used to be the one wine from Alheit Vineyards that we didn’t include in our allocation request, because we felt it always had too much Muscat in the blend. It’s perfectly clear to me, and should be to anyone else, that Chris Alheit has taken heed of our important opinion and has […]

Alheit Vineyards Hemelrand Vine Garden 2023

Featuring some botrytisaffected grapes caused by the rains in 2023, this has pear, orange zest and fresh grape flavours and […]

Alheit Vineyards Hereafter Here Chenin Blanc 2023
$65.00Hereafter Here is what Chris Alheit calls a “young vineyard wine” although it contains older material from the Paardeberg and Tygerberg too. Blended with a splash of Semillon from Franschhoek, it’s a total bargain in the range, with a nice interplay of lees, beeswax and granite-derived structure and a touch of flinty reduction. 2024-29’ – 94 […]

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 […]
