Dry Cabernet Sauvignon Rosé 2008 |
100% pure Cabernet Sauvignon – Rated as a leader in the new wave of Rosé. This wine has a distinctive elegant European light red attractiveness, perfect for romance! It is a bold fruity wine, with hints of quince jelly, melon, citrus and cherry. Light and easy on the palate, with sugar and acidity extremely well balanced.
An excellent choice to accompany so many dishes! We enjoy it with chicken, fish, robust pastas and salads. |

Old Vine Chenin Blanc 2008 |
This wine is handmade from 38 year old vines, one of the oldest blocks of Chenin Blanc in Stellenbosch. The colour is pale translucent with a slight green tint. The nose is fresh and yet complex with a melange of apricot, tropical fruits and a hint of wood, which will continue to entice with age. The complexity of nose follows through on to the palate. The wine is clean and well balanced with a soothing creaminess balancing the enticing acidity.
This delightful wine can be savoured on its own, but will show its true colours (flavours) when enjoyed with good food; especially salads, pastas and fish, and ultimately sushi. |

The DV Red 2004 |
Bronze Veritas 2005 & Bronze Fairbairn Capital Trophy Wine Show
A blend of Pinotage (60%), Shiraz (35%) and Cabernet Sauvignon (5%). The wine is forward and intense on the nose, offering a rich experience to come. A full bodied wine with intense plums, sweet cherry and red berry flavours, with a slight mintiness. The ripe soft tannins and the full fruit flavours offer an exciting palate of subtle nuances.
This diverse wine invites you to use your imagination when you select which food you pair with it! We’ve gone with Gruyere cheese, strawberries infused with chilly, or avocado, rocket & lime salsa on polenta. |
