Selection
Klimt The Kiss 2023 Gruner Veltliner
Rust En Vrede 2020 Cabernet Sauvignon
Expressive black fruit jumps out of the glass. Juicy black cherry and cassis combine with blueberries, licorice and sandalwood. Full bodied and intense on the palate. Fine grained, grippy tannins balance well with a fresh, black-fruit acidity. Tobacco, nutmeg and savory spice bring complex layers to mulberry and bramble fruit that round out the palate. A typically well-structured Cabernet with excellent length.
91pts Wine Spectator: ‘A fresh, harmonious Cabernet, offering ripe boysenberry and cassis fruit flavors counterpointed by savory notes of bay leaf, graphite, smoke and woodsy spices, with refined tannins. Drink now through 2028.’
Ricco Bambino Brut
Bright golden with a fine mousse, captivating the senses with aromas of green apple, pear, and a hint of citrus zest. The palate sings with a crisp, refreshing experience with vibrant acidity and a touch of minerality, leading to a clean, lingering finish.
Caution: Open with care next to sink. This natural wine is alive. Keep it chilled.
Cedre 2019 Heritage Cahors
Tinel-Blondelet 2023 Sancerre
La Vialla 2019 Chianti Superiore ‘Casa Conforto’
92 Points, Wine Enthusiast:
"Earthy and savory, this enjoyable red opens with aromas suggesting underbrush, camphor and wild herbs. Showing the same earthy finesse as the nose, the palate is polished and tangy, doling out crushed raspberry, blood orange, star anise and truffle. Lithe tannins and bright acidity keep it fresh, taut and balanced." - 92/100, Wine Enthusiast
Barbebelle 2023 Rose
Pennautier 2023 Viognier Languedoc
Bright golden yellow in colour, the aromas of yellow-fleshed peaches, passion fruit, apricot are accented by floral notes of rose petal and lime blossom. On the palate, it has a rich, smooth mouthfeel kept in check by fresh acidity. Excellent balance, vivid and smooth. Ideal with a seasonal salad, seafood, poultry, white meat or grilled fish.
Springfield 2024 Life Stone Sauv Blanc
Hailed as one of South Africa's premier Sauvignon Blanc wines, Life From Stone is a blockbuster that delivers consistently year after year. It takes its name from the incredibly rocky soils in which it is grown. Intense, stony, minerally Sauvignon with lime, gooseberry, freshly cut green pepper and passionfruit notes. Zippy, zesty, mouthwatering, and utterly delicious. Complex and multi-layered, this is very much a food wine.

Montezemolo 2019 Barolo Monfaletto
95 Points, Robert Parker's Wine Advocate (2019 Vintage):
"The 2019 Barolo Monfalletto (made with organic fruit selection from across the vineyards that surround the winery in La Morra) shows grit, density and rich texture. The house style prizes muscle and brawn in this vintage that lends itself handily to these qualities. Pressed cherry and blackberry cede to licorice, cured tobacco and iron ore."
The Nebbiolo that comes off this property is some of the best in La Morra. Even in challenging vintages the Monfalletto terroir yields Nebbiolo that is both powerful and supple. Insiders know that this is one of the best terroirs in Barolo. The 2019 vintage is perhaps its best yet, with stellar ratings across the board - it captures the true essence of the Langhe region.

Champalou 2022 Vouvray Sec
A delicate straw yellow in colour. Aromas of green apples and quince. Dry, supple and elegant on the palate with further green fruit notes. The crisp finish makes this an ideal food wine. Try with a wild rice salad, escalopes of pork with a fennel and green bean salad or with a simple grilled trout.
