Rock of Eye is a term long-used by tailors, who create beautiful garments by feel rather than precise measurement or method. The colour is deep opaque. The nose is expressive with a complex array of berry fruits and savoury notes. The combination of black and red current brings the wine to life with dark chocolate, cedar and fynbos aromas complement the fruit. The elegant palate shows the pepper spice with the mulberry and cherry fruits and finishes dry with a touch of juiciness. A full-bodied wine with complex layers of fruit, juicy tannin and a dry finish. As the maiden vintage, this wine is showing tight, dry tannin at this youthful stage and carries an element of excitemnt to see how the wine evolves with maturation.

Elegant and Finely Poised. Clean and fresh flavours of Lemon, bruised GrannySmith Apple, Strawberries, and Citrus Blossom. The palate is lean, mineral, and flinty with a distinctive Oyster-shell savoury quality. A bright acidity cuts through a creamy subtle brioche note on the breadth of the palate, lengthening the exhilaration of this fine-beaded euphoria. Perfectly paired with Shrimp and shellfish, smoked salmon, caviar, fried calamari, and oysters.

The wine offers a complex nose showing quince, white peach and yellow apple, with fenugreek spices give more dimension alongside the mineral intensity of the wine. The stone fruit character follows through onto an exceptionally balanced, very delicate and fine textured palate showing a peach-melba character with an exquisite length and freshness. The wine lingers with hints of ripe nectarine and apricot and zesty lemon. Will benefit from cellaring for 5-8 years. Perfectly paired with South African west coast mussels, white fish with a beurre blanc sauce, spicy butternut squash soup, mild Indian curries.

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.

This brilliant Cabernet Franc is one of the best in South Africa, produced in the slightly unlikely surroundings of Tradouw in the Klein Karoo. Wonderfully smooth, floral and refined, this handles its 50% new oak with style, showing graphite, black cherry and vanilla notes.
-
Rich, deep, complex nose of bruised yellow fruits, white peach, creamy and plush, showing honeyed pineapples, leesy yellow fruits. Plenty of gravitas, fruit weight, focus and textural complexity.

Known as a signature Cabernet Sauvignon. It is distinctive in style with all the hallmarks of the Jonkershoek Valley, known for its balance of elegance and power. Accolades: This flagship wine has won gold medals at the Decanter awards, the International Wine Challenge (IWC), Double Golds at Veritas Awards and one of the most outstanding reviews on winemag.co.za. It stands for a balance between elegance and power. Tasting Notes: Intense dark colour. A subtle, intriguing and appetizing nose with blue and blackberries and typical cedar aromas from the Jonkershoek Valley. The palate is nervous and fresh, followed by a well-defined tannin structure. This is a wine built to last and early drinking would benefit with decanting. Pairs well with venison and ribeye on the bone.

A youthful punch of raspberry and blackberry fruits on the nose with a delightfully spicy touch and subtle hints of earthiness. The bright fruit combines well with the crisp acidity and continues on the harmonious and medium-weighted palate. A youthful and delicious wine. R130 per bottle Price per Case 6 x 750ml

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.

This 2025 Rotsbank bottling displays gunflint and seaweed aromas with tropical granadilla secondary flavours. There is a line of green tea, and the tannin dries out at the end of the palate. This year is marked by incredible length and elegance on the palate. It is one of the wines that can be slightly reduced and shy on release, and we recommend that the wine be allowed to aerate if opened early. It is a very linear and firm style of Chenin. .
