Olifantsberg Lark Chenin Blanc 2019
$38.00Layered and detailed, mouth filling, yet light on its feet. Chenin Blanc can be many things and most winemakers opt for one style or another, but the Lark from Olifantsberg conjures up a multifaceted expression.

Olifantsberg Grenache Blanc 2019
$38.00Grenache Blanc, like Chenin Blanc, is a variety open to interpretation. Olifantsberg’s wines are elegant, controlled and poised.

Stone fruits and citrus, a gentle pithiness and green olive squeeze to […]

Rall Grenache Blanc 2019
$50.00The nose shows a little reduction before lemon, naartjie (mandarin), stone fruit, cut apple and a little nuttiness. Rich and broad with seemingly quite moderate acidity, round without being too leesy, this is a more generous vintage than usual. 92 Points – Christian Eedes, Winemag.co.za The grapes for this wine come from dry-farmed bush vines […]
