This historic region is the hub of the South African wine making scene, the main viticulturists, Viticultural Research Institute, Wine & Spirit Board and most of the commercial wholesalers are to be found here. Established in 1679 the region is probably best known for its Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Shiraz and Pinotage, Stellenbosch also produces some excellent whites, Sauvignon Blancs and Chardonnays. Less irrigated than some of the inland regions, and with a climate tempered by the Atlantic, a few km away, Stellenbosch has a range of soil types and sites and is the source of about 16% of the country's...
With a delicate green golden appearance, the 2016 vintage promises a fresh array of wonderful fruit aromas. Papaya, melon and limes jostle for attention aside freshly sliced Granny Smith apples and touches of oak spice. Sourced as it was from an array of mature vineyards across the Western Cape, the wine is richly layered with golden ripe fruit and finely balanced texture. The...

The wine’s appearance is marked by a vibrant, dense and purple hue. The nose exhibits berry fruit aromas of mulberries and blueberries, subtly framed by vanilla spice and earthy notes. Gentle structure and finesse combine to make the 2014 so attractive. It has good weight and richness, with layers of flavour, yet there is a really classic element to the...

The land that is home to Block S2 was formed rather dramatically by submarine avalanches of shale and sandstone mixed with lava providing a mineral hotbed for the vines to tap into. With its deep golden colour and rich, earthy flavour profile, this is a serious Chenin Blanc. On the nose there are decadent aromas of burnt caramel and pie-crust...

This wine is deep golden in appearance, displaying richness, finesse and power. Herbal aromatics are complemented by truffle notes, yet there is a layer of confected, tangy citrus fruit that lifts the wine. Very...

A South African take on a classic Bordeaux blend; Cabernet Franc, Cabernet Sauvignon, Malbec, Merlot and Petit Verdot all make an appearance here. Cedar and pencil shavings on the nose hint at the large proportion of Cabernet Franc in the blend whilst soft blackberry and cassis provide the ripe fruit to this savoury streak. The palate is driven by cassis...
