Beautifully mature showing some dried coconut, dill and dried tobacco notes. There is a wonderful balance of sweet cherry fruit, dried tomato with wild herbs. This is a subtle, medium bodied wine with a lot of life to it, showing intriguing savoury complexity.

The 2024 vintage seems to be a particularly strong vintage for this wine, coming from a 2.5 hectare vineyard at the top of the slope, Windansea has a majestic view to the sea. The shallow dense clay of the soil always lends the wine more density - there is a compact and intense feel to the wine this year. Notes of dark cherry fruit, five spice, and warm rocks lift from the glass. There is a silky, seamless feel to the tannins with a sense of drama and density on the palate. This will age gracefully.

The oldest plot on the farm which is on a north-facing site on clay rich soils that's entirely planted with the 113 clone. This is a wine of drama and tension, using around 20% whole bunches this year. Notes of aniseed, white pepper and violets add layers of complexity to the finely-tuned dark cherry fruit. There is a sapidity and freshness running through the wine, which feels sculpted and intricately carved on the palate. Extremely fine and a standout success this year.

From a cooler, south-facing slope the Southend Chardonnay this year is matured in around 10% new oak which adds subtle toasty complexity. Bright yellow fruit, a little sourdough crumb and crystalline freshness are the name of the game with this wine.

A tense and vibrant white this year from three different vineyard sites on the farm - it paints a picture of the geological complexity and varying expositions of site on the estate. There are notes of white peach, a little creaminess, and flecks of sea spray. Bright and coiled it is a wine of impressive focus.

Perfumed, silky and dark cherry fruited this is a Pinot of poise and real intensity. From four vineyard sites, it some flickers of floral aromas with violets and peony mingling with a little black pepper spice. Fine-grained, sculpted tannins frame the dark berry fruit with a little liqorice root and five spice on the finish.

Just 770 bottles of this wine were made in 2024 but, if you can get your hands on this wine, you won't be disappointed. There is a purity and intensity matched with a levity and brightness that makes this wine exceptional. Red berry fruit, black tea, cherry blossom and fynbos emerge with air. This is a wonderful example of old vine Cinsault.

Always one of the Cape's greatest Syrahs, the fruit for this wine is sourced from a parcel on the Karibib farm. It was matured in 87% concrete and 13% second fill barrels. Peppery, floral and beautifully defined, this is a virtuosic Syrah that gives notes of tapenade, dark cherry fruit with a fine, sinewy grip of tannins on the finish.

A blend of Syrah with 6% Grenache, High Hopes is 100% whole cluster fermented. There are ripe blue fruits, white pepper and fynbos notes which lift from the glass. This is a bold wine full of energy that shows a core of warm rocks, and a ferrous, iodine character which beautifully balances the fruit.
