A.A. Badenhorst
2021 Secateurs Chenin Blanc, AA Badenhorst Dry | White | Still | 13%

The 2021 Secateurs Chenin is the best example we've tried. Loads of fresh, crunchy apple fruit and a lovely lick of spice, with a hint of oatmeal make this an awful lot of wine for the price. And if you forget a few bottles in the back of the cellar, you might just be surprised.

Ready: 2022 - 2026
2021 Secateurs Red Blend, AA Badenhorst Dry | Red | Still | 13.5%

It's hard to explain just how easy this is to drink. A blend of Shiraz, Cinsault, Cabernet Sauvignon, Carignan, Mourvedre and Grenache, it's juicy, supple, and fresh with ease and joyfulness in the glass.

Ready: 2022 - 2027
2020 Kalmoesfontein Family Red, AA Badenhorst Dry | Red | Still | 13%

A blend of Syrah, Cinsault and Grenache, with multiple other varieties, co-fermented alongside. This is wonderfully pure and complex, and there’s lots of energy and freshness here, and a fine and mineral finish.

Ready: 2023 - 2035
2020 Kalmoesfontein Family White, AA Badenhorst Dry | White | Still | 14%

Chenin Blanc-based, with 46% Roussanne, Viognier, Grenache Blanc, Clairette Blanche, Muscat de Frontignan and Chardonnay, this is a stunning white blend from one of the Cape’s best winemakers. A real insider’s tip: excellent value, and will age brilliantly.

Ready: 2023 - 2035
2021 Kelderblok Chenin Blanc, AA Badenhorst Dry | White | Still | 12.5%

From the vineyard next door to the cellar - Kelder in Afrikaans - this is a quintessential Paardeberg Chenin Blanc. Planted in 1974, the vines are now considerable in size, and this has orchard fruit and lots of spice.

Ready: 2023 - 2035
2021 Golden Slopes Chenin Blanc, AA Badenhorst Dry | White | Still | 13%

Planted in 1968 on the soils with the highest clay content, this is a structured, yellow-fruited wine, with amazing saline minerality on the finish. Delicious and mouth watering.

Ready: 2023 - 2035
2021 Raaigras Grenache, A.A. Badenhorst, Swartland Dry | Red | Still | 13.5%

Under a hectare of huge, old Grenache vines, planted in 1952, on the entry to Kalmoesfontein. This is the Cape’s oldest Grenache, and the resulting wine is astonishingly good. Floral and pure, with amazing tension on the palate, and such minerality on the finish. Bravo.

Ready: 2023 - 2035
2021 Sk'windjiesvlei Tinta Barocca, A.A. Badenhorst, Swartland Dry | Red | Still | 13%

Tinta Barocca has huge potential in the Swartland, this parcel, planted in 1972, shows it beautifully. There’s notes of iron oxide and black pudding, with a core of dark fruit. Structured and intense, this will age brilliantly.

Ready: 2023 - 2035
2021 Sout van die Aarde Palomino, AA Badenhorst Dry | White | Still | 13.5%

From the same vineyard on the far west coast of the cape as Eben Sadie’s Skerpioen. This Palomino is savoury, fresh, and beautifully balanced. It’s a curious, long-lived white that’s seriously impressive.

Ready: 2023 - 2032
Alphabetical
2021 'Vin Blanc' White, Alphabetical Dry | White | Still | 13%

A unique wine in our South Africa offer, this is mainly Roussanne, with a drop of Chardonnay. It's all about texture and bright fruit. Roussanne can be a little heavy, but there's none of that here: it's savoury and frest, with just a hint of herbal lift.

Ready: 2022 - 2026
2020 Red Vin Ordinaire, Alphabetical Dry | Red | Still | 14.5%

A Cabernet Franc led blend, this is one of the best bargains on our list. Loads of ripe, juicy fruit, fine-grained tannins, and a mouth-watering freshness, having a bottle to hand is a must.

Ready: 2022 - 2027
2020 Full Moon White Field Blend, Alphabetical Dry | White | Still | 13%

The Full Moon White is a field blend from a single vineyard on the Swartland’s Uitkyk farm, a farm where plenty of others source grapes. Just a handful of bottles are made of this blend of Chenin, Colombard, Sauvignon Blanc, Semillon and Chardonnay, from a 45 year old vineyard. Lovely weight on the palate, and plenty of energy. Delicious.

Ready: 2022 - 2027
Blank Bottle
2021 Master of None, Blank Bottle, Western Cape Dry | Red | Still | 13.5%

A staple of Pieter’s range, and a brilliant value wine, this is a blend of all sorts: Swartland Grenache, Wellington Grenache, Breedekloof Cinsaut, Elgin Pinot Noir, Swartland Chenin Blanc, Swartland Fernao Pirez, Stellenbosch Chardonnay and Stellenbosch Pinotage. The name refers to the fact that working with 38 grape varieties from 60 vineyards, it’s impossible to be a master of all. Rather, Pieter and his team are happy to tell stories, and be Master of None. This is a delicious wine, with tons of energy, floral top notes, and a core of crunchy red fruit. There’s spice on the mineral finish. The perfect everyday red. Try this at cellar temperature.

Ready: 2022 - 2030
2021 Praus, Blank Bottle Dry | Red | Still | 13%

Prausis biodynamically farmed Voor Paardeberg Shiraz, with a little Pinotage from Darling in the blend. It’s juicy and just so drinkable.

Ready: 2023 - 2030
2021 Retirement @ 65, Blank Bottle, Darling Dry | Red | Still | 12%

The story of Retirement @ 65 is now well known: it’s one of our favourite wines from Pieter. It was a Cinsault vineyard which only started to be productive at 65 years of age, thanks to Pieter’s efforts to outsmart the baboons, sheep, and birds that would always come and eat the grapes. An old vineyard Cinsault, from the same farm as Duncan Savage’s Follow the Line, this is so complex and delicious, with an added savouriness and complexity to it. Brilliant in 2021.

Ready: 2022 - 2030
2021 Little William, Blank Bottle Dry | Red | Still | 13%

From a high altitude Syrah vineyard on the Ceres plateau (where Pieter sees a huge potential for grape growing in general), and it’s one of the Cape’s best cool climate Syrahs. There’s so much energy here, with just the right amount of peppery complexity, and a fine thread of acidity throughout. Brilliantly balanced, and wonderfully long.

Ready: 2023 - 2033
2021 Boberg, Blank Bottle, Wellington Dry | White | Still | 14%

This comes from a vineyard in Wellington, planted on a hill overlooking a farm called Twyfeling. Pieter was chatting to his mum, and she mentioned that her ancestors had owned this Wellington farm: it was purely by accident that Pieter was now buying grapes from it, and the neighbouring hillsides. So the label shows the hill overlooking seven generations of the Hauptfleisch family - Pieter’s mum’s maiden name. The resulting wine is textured and very impressive, with lots of leesy complexity, and very saline finish. Delicious.

Ready: 2023 - 2029
2021 Makstokkie, Blank Bottle, Swartland Dry | White | Still | 12.5%

Pieter’s old assistant introduced him to this parcel of Verdelho vines in the Swartland, so he named it in her honour (Makstokkie is her instagram handle). There were just 800 bottles made of this focussed, textured white, with brilliant energy.

Ready: 2022 - 2028
2021 Oorbegin, Blank Bottle, Voor-Paardeberg Dry | White | Still | 13%

Pieter discovered this vineyard in some bushes - it had been totally abandoned for twenty-five years. It’s a parcel of old Chenin Blanc, that’s now forty years old, along with some young Picpoul Blanc, Petit Manseng, Semillon, Macabeo and Grillo that have been planted among the old Chenins. Oorbegin means new beginnings, referring to this new start for a forgotten vineyard. Fermented and aged in Amphorae, this is complex and balanced, with remarkable purity and shape in the mouth.

Ready: 2023 - 2030
2020 Loskop, Blank Bottle Half Dry | Red | Still | 13%

This is a tiny production Tinta Barocca from the Swartland, that Pieter, in his inimitable wisdom, decided to only bottle in half bottles. It’s name means absent minded, and comes from the fact that the day Pieter went to pick this vineyard, he realised half way there that he hadn’t put his shoes on. Hence the label, too. It’s a brilliant example of this grape variety, that we reckon is one of the Swartland’s most exciting. Textured and bloody, with a core of dark fruit, and lovely energy. One of the best reds we’ve tried from Pieter.

Ready: 2022 - 2030
2021 Praus, Blank Bottle Double Magnum Dry | Red | Still | 14.5%

Praus is biodynamically farmed Voor Paardeberg Shiraz, with a little Pinotage from Darling in the blend. It’s juicy and and utterly delicious; the perfect wine to enjoy in big bottle format.

Ready: 2023 - 2030
2021 Praus, Blank Bottle Jéroboam (500cl) Dry | Red | Still | 15%

Ready: 2023 - 2030
Boekenhoutskloof
2019 Patina Chenin Blanc, Boekenhoutskloof, Swartland Dry | White | Still | 13%

From a 1.6ha vineyard planted on Schist soils in 1996, on the Kasteelberg’s Goldmine property, this is a grippy, floral, spicy Chenin that’s utterly delicious. There’s notes of wild flowers, beeswax, and a hint of ginger spice. It’s ready to go, but will age well, too.

Ready: 2022 - 2027
2019 Semillon, Boekenhoutskloof, Franschhoek Dry | White | Still | 13%

The 2019 Semillon comes from three sites in Franschhoek, from vines planted in 1902, 1936 and 1942. It’s so complex and fresh, with a hint of orange blossom from 3% Muscat from 1902 planted vines. There’s incredible texture here, and a sea-spray tinged finish that lasts an age. Incredible.

Ready: 2022 - 2035
2019 Syrah, Boekenhoutskloof, Swartland Dry | Red | Still | 14%

The 2019 Syrah from Boekenhoutskloof comes from the Goldmine property, planted on brown schist, and Porseleinberg, on blue schist. The resulting wine is wonderfully perfumed - like great Côte-Rôtie - but with a touch of added ripeness. There’s dark berry fruit and a hint of tapenade, and then silky tannins that last an age. This is an astonishingly good Syrah from the team at Boekenhoutskloof.

Ready: 2023 - 2045
Boschkloof
2021 Kottabos Grenache/Syrah, Boschkloof, Stellenbosch Dry | Red | Still | 13.5%

Ready: 2023 - 2030
Gabrielskloof
2021 Elodie Chenin Blanc, Gabrielskloof, Swartland White | Still | 13.5%

From four different farms in the Swartland, including Adi Badenhorst's Jakkalsfontein, Chris Alheit's Nuwedam, and the Langkloof farm that's source of some brilliant old vine Chenin, this is focussed and fine, with lots of white flowers, fennel seed and stone fruit. Fresh and focused there is real intensity through the palate and saline on the finish.

93/100
2022 Flower Girl Albariño, Botanica Wines, Ginny Povall Dry | White | Still | 13%

From Albarino vines that were grafted onto unsuccessful Cabernet Sauvignon, this was a great decision from Ginny Povall. This is pithy and fresh, with lots of savoury density, and a delicious finish. Just so easy and drinkable

Ready: 2023 - 2027
2017 Big Flower Merlot, Botanica Wines, Ginny Povall Dry | Red | Still | 15%

Just an incredibly delicious Merlot from Ginny's Stellenbosch estate, this is plummy, juicy, and fine-boned, with a lovely thread of acidity. One to pop and pour.

Ready: 2022 - 2029
2021 Mary Delany Chenin Blanc, Botanica Wines, Ginny Povall Dry | White | Still | 14%

This comes from the legendary Skurfberg, from the Oudam farm. At this stage it's very tightly wound, with notes of thyme and fynbos, and incredible drive. Give this a couple of years, and it will be brilliant.

Ready: 2023 - 2031
Glen Heatlie
2020 Grenache Blanc, Glen Heatlie, Wellington Dry | White | Still | 13%

A true passion project from an inspiring female winemaker, Joan Heatlie made just 1238 bottles of her Glen Heatlie, 2020 Grenache Blanc. A wine showing a delicate interplay of acidity and texture, it is a white that dances between the floral, spicy and savoury.

Ready: 2023 - 2030
Illimis Wines
2017 Chenin Blanc, Illimis Wines Dry | White | Still | 13.5%

This Chenin Blanc is different from all the other Chenins in our range: it comes from Elgin, one of the coolest grape-growing regions in South Africa. Planted on Bokkeveld Shale - not all that dissimilar to the soils of the Loire’s Savennières - this is as cool and precise as South African Chenin gets.

Ready: 2020 - 2029
Kanonkop Wine Estates
2019 Paul Sauer, Kanonkop, Stellenbosch Red | Still | 13%

One of South Africa's most legendary wines. This has so much intensity and power, but remains refined and wonderfully balanced. Notes of mulberry and ripe plum, and also graphite and leather. This is so long, stony, and refined. It will make old bones.

Young: 2026 - 2050 Maximum quantity (6 bottles) limit apply
Keermont Vineyards
2021 Keermont Terrasse White, Stellenbosch Dry | White | Still | 14%

A blend of 56% Chenin Blanc, Sauvignon Blanc (18%), Chardonnay (17%) plus Roussanne, Marsanne and Viognier, from terraced estate vineyards in Blaauwklippen. Notes of orchard peach, Granny Smith apples and fresh ginger on the nose, with a beautifully textural and pithy finish. There’s an easygoing nature to this, but don’t underestimate its ability to age.

Ready: 2023 - 2034
N/V Fleurfontein, Keermont (Base Vintages 2019, 2020, 2021) Sweet | White | Still | 12%

Ready: 2022 - 2050
N/V Fleurfontein, Keermont (Base Vintages 2019, 2020, 2021) Half Sweet | White | Still | 13%

Made by pinching the tops of the bunches, concentrating the sugars, and acidity, in the grapes, this is a really lovely sweet wine from Alex Starey. Green pineapple, ginger, and a hint of lemongrass create a very refreshing but intensely sweet wine. This is a blend of vintages, hence (for the one and only time) it's a N/V wine.

Ready: 2022 - 2029
2017 Riverside Chenin Blanc, Keermont, Stellenbosch Dry | White | Still | 13.5%

A small parcel of this, the single vineyard Chenin Blanc from the outstanding 2017 vintage, has been made available to us. It was planted in 1971, and this is in such a lovely place right now. Textured, lifted, and incredibly fine-boned, this is a stunning Chenin Blanc.

Ready: 2022 - 2030
2016 Amphitheatre, Keermont Dry | Red | Still | 13%

Young: 2025 - 2042
2017 Syrah, Keermont Dry | Red | Still | 14%

This 2017 from Keermont reminds us why we loved this vintage so much. A blend of Syrah from four vineyards, with just a dash of Mourvèdre, it’s energetic, intense, with a gorgeous structure of fine-boned tannins. And the finish goes on and on, and more and more complexity emerges. Just so delicious.

Ready: 2023 - 2038
2019 Riverside Chenin Blanc, Keermont, Stellenbosch Dry | White | Still | 13%

Ready: 2024 - 2038

Ready: 2023 - 2029
2019 Ugaba, Anwilka Vineyard, Stellenbosch Dry | Red | Still | 14.5%

The second wine of Anwilka. This is nicely juicy, with real energy and there’s good grip on the palate. An excellent value wine from the team behind Anwilka.

Ready: 2023 - 2028
2020 Perdeblokke Sauvignon Blanc, Klein Constantia Dry | White | Still | 14.5%

Taking it's name from the horses that used to work this plot, the Perdeblokke is a real beauty in 2020. There's such energy here, alongside the opulence we've come to expect from this warm site. Sweet and sour in character, this will convert even the most anti-Sauvignon wine lover.

Ready: 2022 - 2030
2020 Clara Sauvignon Blanc, Klein Constantia Dry | White | Still | 13.5%

A blend of three different blocks on the Klein Constantia hillside, the 2020 Clara is drop-dead gorgeous. Delicate and floral on the nose, with notes of oyster shell, lime blossom, and sea spray, and plenty of fresh ginger too, this is complex and delicious already. There’s the structure here to age beautifully too. Everyone should secure a case of this, if they can.

Ready: 2022 - 2033
2019 Block 382 Sauvignon Blanc, Klein Constantia Dry | White | Still | 13.5%

Just a few hundred bottles of this single block are produced: for Matt, it's a play thing, something that informs the rest of his winemaking. Notes of ginger and fresh grapefruits swirl from the glass of this wine, that's all about texture and purity. South Africa's best Sauvignon Blanc?

Ready: 2022 - 2034
2020 Block 382 Sauvignon Blanc, Klein Constantia Dry | White | Still | 13.5%

Block 382 is a single vineyard at the top of the Klein Constantia hillside, and the 2020 is intense and pure and remarkably textured. Just a few hundred bottles are produced this: we're thrilled to be able to offer it in the UK.

Ready: 2022 - 2034
Lismore Estate Vineyards
2020 Syrah, Lismore Estate Vineyards, Cape South Coast Dry | Red | Still | 12.5%

From a range of vineyards across the Cape South Coast region, this is an intense and wonderfully poised cool climate Syrah. Notes of pepper and graphite, and lots of lifted red berry fruit. There's a focus and length here. Delicious.

Ready: 2023 - 2035
2021 Chenin Blanc, Lismore Estate Vineyards, Western Cape Dry | White | Still

A newer wine for Lismore, this comes from Walker Bay, and has plenty of points of difference from the Chenin Blancs from Stellenbosch and the Swartland. Notes of orange blossom and jasmine, alongside a core of apple fruit, and lots of texture.

Ready: 2023 - 2032
2017 Syrah, Lismore Estate Vineyards, Greyton Dry | Red | Still | 14%

The Syrah is a blend of 30% Greyton fruit, and the rest from a shale and sandstone vineyard in Elgin. These cool vineyards produce a Syrah that’s all about pepper and rose petal: a joy to behold.

The 2021 Lindi Carien is a blend of predominantly Verdelho, with 65% Chenin Blanc, Colombard, Grenache Blanc and Palomino supporting. Waxy and expressive, notes of greengage, fynbos, and lots of yellow fruit. There's a lot of ginger spice, and plenty of persistence on the finish.

Lukas van Loggerenberg
2021 Chenin Blanc 'Trust Your Gut', Lukas van Loggerenberg Dry | White | Still | 14%

The 2021 Trust Your Gut is an absolute delight. Perfumed, saline and wonderfully lifted, there's a core of grapefruit and yellow plum, and a leesy complexity on the palate. There's such drive on the finish, from the Paardeberg fruit that perfectly envelops the classic Stellenbosch yellow fruit. Outstanding.

Ready: 2023 - 2032
2021 Chenin Blanc ' Kameraderie', Lukas van Loggerenberg Dry | White | Still | 14%

Ready: 2023 - 2031
2020 Connect The Dots Syrah, Minimalist Wines, Sam Lambson Dry | Red | Still | 13.5%

The 2020 Connect the Dots comes from vineyards in Elgin, Stellenbosch (on the Helderberg and Polkadraai) and Darling. It shows plenty of plum fruit, with some spice, and plenty of grip. This is saline and pure, with tannins that coat the mouth. It’s ready to go now, with a softness to the fruit and structure, but we’re sure it will age brilliantly, too.

Ready: 2023 - 2031
2020 Experimental Syrah, Minimalist Wines, Sam Lambson Dry | Red | Still | 13.5%

The 2020 Experimental Syrah comes from a single estate in Elgin. It’s a cool climate Syrah with loads of fresh, juicy fruit, a long and delicate finish, and just the right amount of tannic structure. This is delicious - a spectacular bargain - and can be enjoyed right away. But don’t dismiss its ability to age for a couple of years.

Ready: 2022 - 2027
Momento
2019 Chenin Blanc / Verdelho, Momento, Western Cape Dry | White | Still | 13%

Wary of the propensity of Chenin Blanc to lose acidity when ripening, she wanted something to add vibrancy to the white. The Chenin comes from a 1979-planted vineyard on the Paardeberg, from the same farm as the Grenache, and a 1982-planted vineyard in Botrivier, while the Verdelho comes from the Voor Paardeberg. This is a beautifully elegant, textured white, with white peach, lemon zest, and a hint of brioche on the pithy finish.

Ready: 2022 - 2029
2019 Tinta Barocca, Momento, Swartland Dry | Red | Still | 13%

A recent bottle of 2013 of this shows just how good Tinta Barocca can be. It’s a real labour of love, and comes from three different, old vine sources: one in Bot Rivier, one in Stellenbosch, and then a parcel on the same farm on the Paardeberg as the other two wines. As mentioned this is a bottling that benefits from a couple of years in bottle: with that it develops wonderful smoky notes, and hints of blood orange. The 2019 is simply stunning: a real hidden gem of our South African range.

Ready: 2023 - 2033
2018 Grenache Noir, Momento, Swartland Dry | Red | Still | 13.5%

This is a real contender for South Africa’s finest Grenache. She calls Grenache “South Africa’s Pinot Noir”, and is always looking to make as elegant and precise an example as possible: this comes in at just 13.5% abv, yet is perfectly ripe. It comes mainly froma farm on the Paardeberg, next to Eben Sadie’s farm, with a drop of Voor Paardeberg and Bot Rivier fruit in 2018, from young vines and carefully selected clones.

Ready: 2022 - 2032
2019 Grenache Gris, Momento, Western Cape Dry | White | Still | 13.5%

This, from the Voor Paardeberg, from really young vines, is just spectacularly delicious. Red apple and wild roses swirl from the glass, while it’s the salinity and texture of the palate that really blew us away. Such an individual wine; such a wonderful wine.

Ready: 2022 - 2029
Mont Blois
2017 Kweekkamp Chardonnay, Mont Blois, Robertson Dry | White | Still | 13%

The Kweekamp Chardonnay comes from a high altitude vineyard, planted on limestone. Limestone, the top pick for Chardonnay plantations throughout the world, is a rarity in the Cape, and this is a tense, mineral yet pleasingly open expression of the grape, with a lovely lick of oak spice. Just five barrels are made. In recent years, as well as being bottled by the Bruwers, this vineyard is also around one third of the blend of Capensis, South Africa’s most expensive Chardonnay, made by Jackson Family Wines.

Ready: 2020 - 2027
Mullineux and Leeu
2019 Syrah, Mullineux, Swartland Dry | Red | Still | 13.5%

The Syrah is as true an expression of this grape variety in the Swartland’s varied terroirs as you’ll find. In 2019, this was sourced from seven different parcels. Two parcels were from dry-land bush vines grown in the decomposed granite soils of the Paardeberg, two from the iron-rich soils just west of Malmesbury, and three parcels were from the stony Schist of the Kasteelberg. There's a great depth to the fruit here; the wine is bursting with Syrah black pepper, black olive pits, and red currants, with a floral note lifting the palate. Savoury and highly appetising, this is an exceptionally well-made wine from Chris and Andrea Mullineux.

Ready: 2023 - 2033
2020 Iron Syrah, Mullineux, Swartland Dry | Red | Still | 12.5%

From the hills that surround Malmesbury, this single vineyard Syrah is always the most backward of the Mullineux's wines. It's intense and bloody in character, with loads of dark fruit, intense tannins, and also a saline minerality. Long, precise, and incredibly soulful, it's a simply wonderful wine.

Young: 2026 - 2042
2020 Granite Syrah, Mullineux, Swartland Dry | Red | Still | 15%

From Jakkalsfontein farm, now owned by Adi Badenhorst. Lots of purity and focus, they’ve worked with this block since 2005. Intense and brooding when first poured into the glass but opens up with beautiful violets, spices, and herbal aromatics over time.

Young: 2026 - 2042
2021 Schist Chenin Blanc, Mullineux, Swartland Dry | White | Still | 13.5%

Young: 2025 - 2035
2020 Old Vines Cinsault, Leeu Passant, Wellington Dry | Red | Still | 12.5%

Ready: 2023 - 2030
2021 Old Vines White, Mullineux & Leeu Dry | White | Still | 13.5%

The Mullineux Old Vines White is a distinctly South African marriage of Chenin Blanc with Mediterranean varieties Clairette Blanche, Viognier, Grenache Blanc, Semillon Gris, and Verdelho. 2021 was a celebrated white wine vintage in the Cape, and this is a fragrant, saline and textured expression of the Swartland’s terroir. All the vineyards are sustainably farmed and are up to 67 years old. Indeed, this punches well above its weight.

Ready: 2023 - 2035
Newton Johnson Family Vineyards
2021 Southend Chardonnay, Newton Johnson, Hemel-en-Aarde Dry | White | Still | 14%

Ready: 2023 - 2030
2021 Family Vineyards Pinot Noir, Newton Johnson, Hemel-en-Aarde Dry | Red | Still | 14%

From 4 different vineyards on the estate, this is one of the finest expressions of Hemel-en-Aarde Pinot Noir. The 2021 is all about elegance, with notes of pomegranate and floral perfume, as well as lots of energy and real tension. There’s incredible purity on the palate, and a saline minerality, too. This is wonderfully complex and delicious. It’s not to be missed.

2021 Windansea Pinot Noir, Newton Johnson, Hemel-en-Aarde Dry | Red | Still | 14%

A lavish wine with dense fruit, soft spice and violets. The lush black and red fruits merge to a savoury core, strewn with mineral characters and freshly turned earth. The firm framework and granular tannins are rooted in the clay soil, lengthened by fine, sinewy tannins in the finish.

2022 Lay & Wheeler Swartland Chenin Blanc by AA Badenhorst Dry | White | Still | 13.5%

Adi Badenhorst is one of the original Swartland trailblazers. He is based on the Paardeberg, where deep, decomposed granite soils are perfect for growing Chenin Blanc. This is from a single vineyard - Dassiekop - a tiny plot of vines planted in the 1970s, that produces a quintessential Swartland Chenin: vibrant and tense, with lots of ripe citrus fruit, and a long, savoury finish.

Paulus Wine Co
2021 Bartàs Chenin Blanc, Paulus Wine Co, Stellenbosch White | Still | 12.5%

2021 is the maiden vintage of Bartàs from exciting young winemakers Pauline Roux and Paul Jourdaan of Paulus Wine Company. Floral, with classic Stellenbosch yellow fruit, the Bartàs is a Chenin brimming with intensity and texture. Fruit is sourced from the Rustenhof farm in Stellenbosch where granite soils and a maritime influence from the nearby False Bay lend the wine salinity and a spectacular mineral character. Bright, long, and utterly delicious, this is one to follow from the very beginning.

2021 Rall White, Rall Wines, Swartland Dry | White | Still | 13%

This is a unique blend of Chenin Blanc, Verdelho and Viognier. In 2021, the wine features notes of clementines and fresh ginger spice on the nose and a melange of green apples and pears on the palate. It’s all held together by impressive acidity – brought by the Verdelho – and a beautiful texture. Donovan’s wines sometimes fly a little under the radar: with examples like this that really shouldn’t: this is one of the best whites you’ll try from South Africa.

Savage Wines
2021 Salt River Sauvignon Blanc, Savage, Western Cape Dry | White | Still | 13%

The 2021 Salt River Sauvignon Blanc is an incredible bottle of wine for the price. There's so much texture and tension here, alongside super-exuberant fruit, and a long and savoury finish. Utterly delicious, it will continue to improve in the bottle. If you can keep your hands off it.

Critic Score
91/100
2019 Le Chant, Taaibosch, Stellenbosch Dry | Red | Still | 13.5%

A Bordeaux blend with a little Syrah and Sangiovese, this is a really charming, approachable wine from Schalk and his team. Notes of morello cherry, and also plenty of cinnamon and clove spice. Just delicious, and great value.

Ready: 2023 - 2030
2019 Crescendo, Taaibosch, Stellenbosch Dry | Red | Still | 13.5%

The 2019 Taaibosch Crescendo is a Cabernet Franc led blend, that's utterly stunning in its second vintage. This has floral lift, plenty of body, and a lovely, saline, long, expressive finish. Delicious: this will age brilliantly, too.

The Foundry
2021 Grenache Blanc, The Foundry, Stellenbosch Dry | White | Still | 14%

The 2021 Grenache Blanc, sourced from vines grown on the famed granite soils of the Voor Paardeber, is another magnificent effort from winemaker Chris Williams. Displaying pithy citrus fruit and a round, enveloping texture, it's an incredibly well-balanced and fine-boned wine. 2021 was a brilliant white wine vintage across the Cape, and this is consistently one of the best value wines in our range. Not to be missed.

Ready: 2023 - 2030
2021 Roussanne, The Foundry, Stellenbosch Dry | White | Still | 14%

Arguably our favourite Roussanne from the Cape. It comes from the Voor Paardeberg, and is surprisingly deep in colour. Aged half in terracotta and half in older oak, this is all about grip and tension rather than oiliness. Just such a complex, delicious wine.

Ready: 2023 - 2030
Thistle & Weed
2020 Duwweltjie Chenin Blanc, Thistle & Weed, Stellenbosch Dry | White | Still | 13%

From a vineyard in Paarl planted in 1956, yields from here are absolutely miniscule. There's pure peach on the nose, with plenty of citrus lift and a beautifully textured palate. A lovely addition to our range.

Ready: 2022 - 2030
Thorne & Daughters
2021 Wanderer's Heart, Thorne & Daughters, Western Cape Dry | Red | Still | 13.5%

45% Syrah from Bredekloof and Bot River, with 33% Breedekloof Grenache, 13% Carignan, and 9% Mourvèdre. This is very pure and focussed, with lots of wild strawberry character, wet stones, bramble, and white pepper. A lovely red, that shouldn't be overlooked.

Ready: 2024 - 2035
2021 Copper Pot Pinot Noir, Thorne & Daughters, Western Cape Dry | Red | Still | 13%

From 5 separate vineyards, this is a brilliant, juicy, delicious Pinot Noir, that shows just how talented John is. There's a coolness and sapidity here, but also perfectly ripe fruit. One to enjoy, any night of the week.

Ready: 2023 - 2032
2021 Tin Soldier Semillon, Thorne & Daughters, Swartland Dry | White | Still | 15%

Made with 50% skin contact and 50% without, the 2021 Tin Soldier is beautifully balanced. There’s lots of iron oxide on the nose, with ripe red apples, and a wonderfully driven, saline finish. This is from a parcel of Semillon Gris planted on the Paardeberg, on decomposed granite soils.

2021 Snakes & Ladders Sauvignon Blanc, Thorne & Daughters, Citrusdal Mountain Dry | White | Still | 14%

From a 1993 planted vineyard on the Skurfberg, this is an astonishing expression of Sauvignon Blanc. There’s orange blossom and peaches, and then there’s that amazing Skurfberg acidity that comes screaming through. This is more a product of its place than of its grape variety.

Ready: 2023 - 2035
Vino pH
2021 Bukettraube Pet Nat, Vino pH, Swartland White | Frizzante | 11.5%

Bukettraube is likely a grape you don't know brilliantly, but it's found its home in a few small vineyards in the Cape. Hanneke and Pauline are doing something quite special with it, making an utterly delicious Pet Nat. Sometimes likened to Muscat, this is floral and peachy, with very fine bubbles, and a vibrant finish. A delicious fizz.

Ready: 2023 - 2027
2020 Palomino, Vino pH, Piekenierskloof White | Still | 15%

From an old Palomino vineyard at 670m of elevation, which sees some skin contact, this is an impressive wine from Pauline and Hanneke. It's incredibly complex, with notes of ginger and guava, and also lots of fynbos character on the finish. It's the kind of wine that has you reaching for glass after glass.

Ready: 2023 - 2033
2019 Palomino, Vino pH, Piekenierskloof White | Still | 12.5%

This comes from Piekenierskloof, from a vineyard at 670m of elevation, which ensures that this maintains vibrant acidity and plenty of cool fruit. It's fermented in egg, with a portion of skin contact, and that gives a beautiful texture and just a hint of ginger spice, too. It's spicy, with guava and a slight herbal lift. Delicious.

Ready: 2021 - 2028
Weather Report
2019 Atlas, Weather Report, Christopher Keet Jnr Red | Still | 13%

Chris Keet's Weather Report is a brand new producer, and he focusses on Cabernet Franc from the Cape. This is a blend of sites and soils, and is a really lovely wine. Informed by the best examples of the Loire, but with a little more SA sun, it's silky and savoury, and very long indeed. A brilliant first vintage.
