Fine example of a cool climate sauvignon blanc - grapes grown on six different Elgin farms. Brisk acidity, strong capsicum qualities, and enough complexity and length to suggest ageing potential.

A very impressive debut wine from the Lamberts Bay region. Good asparagus and gooseberry flavour associations, but most impressive is the minerality and the poise that this young wine already shows.

The wine that started the love affair with botrytised-chenins. It's a style that SA does very, very well, and Nederburg better than most.

Keep this in the cellar for a couple of years - you'll be amply rewarded. Allow time for the savoury fruit and oak tannins to integrate even more seamlessly.

Second label from Boekenhoutskloof. Consistently delivers quality and value. Ripe, full-bodied shiraz - properly spicy with fabulous mouth-feel. Persistent finish. Better than many first labels at twice the price.

Lots of black pepper and spice and savoury charcuterie on the nose, a smoothly creamy palate. Settled down into a subtle and elegant wine. A Platter 41/2 star wine, and deservedly so.

Remarkable value for money. It's a bulk wine, so no great individuality, but no obvious faults either. Pleasant drinking.
