Tasting Notes: The wine has a deep, brooding colour complemented by dark, ripe fruit flavours with delicate floral and spice undertones. The soft, full-bodied and elegant mouth feel is backed by integrated oak.
Tasting Notes: The wine has a deep and intense garnet colour. The nose shows ripe cassis and smoky flavours that are complexed by aromas of almond and chocolate. The palate is full round with ripe chewy tannins and flavours like coffee, cherry, cigar box and liquorice. The balanced acid creates a firm finish that is complemented by luscious and lingering sweetness.
Food Pairing: Served with rare Roast of Lamb, Lamb Knuckles, stewed with red onions, or a rich Pork Terrine.
Tasting Notes The Chamonix Pinot Noir Reserve shows a ruby red colour, with notes of cherry, wild red berries, crushed black pepper, cinamon and violets on the nose. Although firm in structure and intense in flavour, textures are mellow and round, expanding with time to extraordinary opulence and length on the palate. It should reach its prime in about 5-8 years after release.
Tasting Notes: Deep, ruby red colour - concentration of black current, cassis and tealeaf aromas. Good body with combination of power and elegance. Silky sweet tannin that leads to dry finish.
Food Pairing: Any meat dish that is rich in flavour and not too spicy.
Tasting Notes: Intensive purple/black in colour with satin rim. Sweet ripe fruits with the freshness of rose petals that open up to an earthiness, sweet sugars, cinnamon and liquorish that talks to different parts of the palate at the same time. Mineral tones greet you at first, followed by sweet ripe blackcurrant, cinnamon, caramel and liquorish. The flavours that remain on the palate after it is swallowed are long lasting. The fusion of acidity, ripe tannin structure and complexity derived from the five varieties, combines to bring out the best in this stunning vintage.
Tasting Notes: The 2006 Boekenhoutskloof Syrah has its typical spicy and pepper notes with underlying violet and perfumed aromas. It has greater tightness on the palate compared to previous vintages which would suggest that this Syrah will reward with further cellaring. The oxidative and artisanal approach in the cellar leads to a wine which is not driven by primary fermentation esters and oak flavours but rather more developing secondary and tertiary flavours.
(Rare & Vintage Wine) Tasting Notes Well-composed, complex, mineral and earthy, finely structured with pinpoint acidity, classic tannins. As sensual as the brilliant 2007 with its gravel-tinged fruit. Always Shiraz with 20% Mourvedre, basket-pressed. 2 years French oak, new component down to only 20%.

Tasting Notes: The nose displays classical cassis and blackcurrant flavours with an amazing graphite profile. The wine has got great depth and structural balance rests on the austerity of the tannins.
