This maiden 2025 Sonvang vintage displays Mediterranean rosemary and herbal aromas, tangled with bright red fruit. The wine is youthful and embryonic and hosts a slight perfect reduction that will carry it into the future. The powdery and firm tannins have class and elegance and are knotted and stitched together with the acidity to produce enormous length to the wine. This wine needs time, and we are delighted with this maiden release. Single-varietal Grenache (maiden vintage).

This 2025 Skurfberg vintage displays some riper tropical fruit alongside the usual Granny Smith apple fresh greener flavours. This vintage however, has some viscosity to it, balanced by a very bright and long acidity finish. This is a more linear version of the vineyard expression, and the wine should fill out with time in the bottle.

Franschhoek, South Africa – Limited Release (Only 2,410 Bottles Produced) The Stony Brook Cabernet Franc 2019, crafted in the shadow of the Dutoitskop Peak, is a rare and elegant expression of this noble varietal. With only 2,410 individually numbered bottles released, this limited-edition vintage is a collector’s dream and a sommelier’s delight. In the glass, it reveals a deep crimson hue. Aromas of red peppercorn, wild Cape fynbos, and dark chocolate leap from the nose, leading into a palate that balances freshness with intensity. The bright entry gives way to layers of concentrated dark fruit and earthy spice, supported by firm, structured tannins and a long, dry finish. Hand-harvested and gently vinified, this wine spent 21 months maturing in second-fill French oak barrels to enhance complexity without overwhelming the fruit. A true reflection of Franschhoek terroir and artisanal winemaking. Serve with: rosemary-infused lamb chops, grilled eggplant parmigiana, or a herbed mushroom risotto. Ageing potential: Now to 2030.

Mouth filling flavours of sub- tropical fruits including melon, lychees, passion fruit, ripe nectarine flesh , with intense pink grapefruit and fresh limes on the finish. In its youth, flavours are fresh and zesty with a broad mineral textured base and over time will settle into flinty and wet limestone character reminiscent of Sancerre styled character. The wine will age well for up to 5-8 years. Serve chilled with green asparagus, scallops, grilled line fish, prawns, sushi and Thai infused fare.

The 2021 Thamnus Chardonnay is powerful and sleek. Notes of cool citrus, almond paste and peach flirt on the nose, combined with fragrant spice. The body is rich and textured, offering pure lemon and lime, supported by finely balanced French oak. The firm acidity carries the powerful fruit and an elegant long, sumptuous finish. Drink to 2029.

“U-Velaphi?” – a conversational isiXhosa phrase to ascertain from whence one comes, where one was borne, your tribe and thus determining your character. U-Velaphi? Chardonnay is an ode to the African hands, soils & vintage which created this wine & represent its truly unique origin This vintage combines equal parts from two climats in Elgin planted to Clone CY95: one along the Applewaite lake with the vines rooted in Table Mountain sandstone over white clay, the other 15km away on a terraced South facing site rammed into Bokkeveld shale with yellow clay, quartz & flecks of ironstone. Elgin’s macro climate is cool with the climats we source fruit from decidedly ultra cool. Barrel Fermented & Matured."

Lovely pale straw colour. Nose decidedly tropical with quince, golden delicious apples, litchi, mango, and summer melon flavours. Good weight and balance on the palate, layered with minerality on the finish. The wonderful mouthfeel that typifies ripe Chenin Blanc has already started to develop and will increase in the next 12 – 24 months. R10 from every bottle of the Conservation Collection sold will go to the Boucher Legacy.

This maiden 2025 Twiswind vintage displays limey and zesty dynamics with fresh Granny Smith apple and peach skin aromas. The intense palate and textural aspects somehow dwarf the aromatics, as the wine is built up from the structural mouthfeel and tension of tannins. The acidity is firm, and this wine needs time .
-
2025 Kokerboom displays the typical waxy, lanolin characters often associated with Semillon, but this year, the aromatics also have a gingery, spicy aspect, with some tropical granadilla undertones. On the mouth, the tannins and phenolics seem to be some of the most refined and elegant we have tasted from this vineyard. Overall, it is a very fresh version of this vineyard.

In 2024, Palladius displays an incredibly bright colour for a wine from 24 months of ageing. The inclusion of more acidic and lower alcohol-driven varieties has contributed much to the increased freshness of the resulting wine. This vintage displays a lime zesty and green apple entry of aromatics and a line of salinity that stretches throughout. On the palate, the tannins present themselves incredibly refined and balanced, intertwined with fresh acidity and a long-lasting aftertaste. Potentially, the wine of the vintage!
