Our wine history

2009

Our maiden vintage Sauvignon Blanc a nose of gooseberry and asparagus, a beautiful mouth feel, full bodied and a lasting taste.  Jean-Pierre Rossouw (of Rossouw’s Restaurant Guidefame) gives the thumbs up, saying: “A very pure wine, with a lovely bright nose of tropical fruit and some lively grassy notes – classic Sauvignon in expression.

On the palate it is medium in weight and fresh, with very good fruit expression.

All in all a great debut!”
