Springfield Cabernet Sauvignon ~ Robertson |
| |
A velvety wine with softer tannins and classical varietal characteristics.
(winemaker Abrie Bruwer ) |
| |
Waterford Cabernet Sauvignon ~ Stellenbosch |
| |
Rich, ripe Cabernet aromas underscored by notes of cedar, leather and truffle. Soft violets on the nose, ripe tannins reveal an elegant structure that is powerful, yet delicate.

| CAPE BLENDS |
These blends use the Pinotage grape in the forefront to create some
unique, proudly South African wines. Food pairing: ostrich fillet skewer,
rib-eye steak or the boerewors platter. |

Asara Cape Fusion ~ Stellenbosch |
| |
The deep ruby black colour hints at a celebration of the senses. There are rich plummy and black cherry aromas balanced with subtle cigar box and spicy mocha nuances.
(winemaker Francois Joubert) |
| |
Warwick Three Cape Ladies ~ Stellenbosch |
| |
With four “ladies” involved, namely Pinotage, Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot & Shiraz, this is a modern, well oaked, sumptuous wine.
