| A gentle Sangiovese based blend with soft red fruits, herbal notes, and a touch of spice. Though the wine's roots run deep in the region's history and the blend is based on Tuscany's most representative grape, Sangiovese (60%), 385 is given a more "modern" cut with the addition of Merlot (20%), Ciliegiolo (10%) and Syrah (10%). |

Merlot, Syrah, Cabernet Sauvignon
Intense dark red. Smells of red ripe wild berries with a subtle hint of vanilla. Warm, spicy and dense on the palate with aromas of jam and spices. Long and intense aftertaste.

| | Whole bunch pressed and racked to ferment with natural yeasts. Minimal skin contact results in a blush of colour and fine, peppery phenolics. The wine is dry with appealing layers of tree fruits and hazelnut flavours. It has surprising power. |
| | Fresh citrus and orchard fruit aromas and flavours, with a minerally element adding vivacity. Silky and precise, showing good lift but a bit of heat in the mid-palate. It is balanced and persistent with plenty of lively acidity. |
|
| The nose prevails clean aromas of good intensity with hints of fruit apricot, pineapple, and apple on a background of hay and white flowers. The palate is broad, satiny, with a balanced acidity that gives it freshness and elegance. |
| | Plum black in colour, with complex aromas of cherry, plum & violets. Smooth & round on the palate with a rich raisin character- supple tannins and a long finish
|
| |
The wine has pronounced aromas of ripe red fruit, black cherry and spice. The palate has complex and developed characters of bramble and cherry fruit alongside cocoa, liquorice and tobacco. The finish is rounded, satisfying and long.
It slowly ages in 55hl oak barrels for six years and refines in stainless steel before bottling.

|
| Lovely floral aromas with notes of quince and red apple lead onto a really fresh and bright palate with delicate apple, pear and berry fruit notes, a light refreshing tang and very light tannins with a hint of spice on the finish. Considering this is a natural wine there is no 'funk' or aggressive acidity or tannins, everything is in balance and has been well put together. |
| | Anwilka is a result of the joint venture of three brilliant winemakers: Hubert de Boüard of Château Angélus, Bruno Prats formerly of Cos d’Estournel and Lowell Jooste previous owner of Klein Constantia. Aged for 14 months in big French oak barrel (50% new). Aromas of strawberry, raspberry, and cherry with notes of toasted spices, tobacco and hints of cassis. Fresh and vibrant on the palate, this is a medium-bodied and elegant wine with supple tannins and a very seductive finish. |
| | Made with the touch of top Pinot Noir producer, Emul Ross's Pinotage is one of the most nuanced and complex in the Cape. Floral, racy and nuanced, with delicate tannins, wild strawberry and pomegranate fruit, some pepper spice from partial stem addition and a fine, tapering finish. |
|
| This is an innovative blend that captures the most beautiful possible expression of the sandstone-derived soils in the Hemel-en-Aarde Valley. Free by design of excessively dramatic varietal fruit, the focus of the wine is on bright minerality, salinity and vibrant natural acidity. Sauvignon blanc 51%, Semillon 25%, Chardonnay 24%

Gaia Thalassitis Assyrtiko Santorini White is like a ripe Chablis: full, lemony, and mineral, with fine acidity and a lingering finish. Made with the ancient native Assyrtiko grape,this wine is from extremely old vines. The wine is unoaked to retain its crispness and purity of flavour. |
| | Aromas of meat, plums and dried herbs invade the nose. Ripe flavors and warm notes of paprika meet on the smooth palate. It's ready to be enjoyed now. |
|
| 80% Mourvèdre, with the balance being Carignan, Grenache and Cinsault. Mourvèdre forms the backbone of the wine which has a quite dizzying complexity on the nose where plump bramble and cassis notes mix up with earthy spice and sage. On the palate it's silky smooth with the fruitiness following through nicely with black pepper and soft spice flavours chipping in as well. |
| | Has a beautiful amber colour, a rich velvet nose and hints of flor ageing. On the palate is rich and full with roast apples, nutty oak and a long finish. |
| | This has a pale straw colour with a fresh almond nose and a wonderful dry finish. Excellent with tapas and especially salted almonds. |
|

Olorosos are Sherries that have aged in the absence of flor and are rich and full. As the name indicates it is a highly aromatic wine with toffee notes. This Oloroso is very slightly sweetened to leave a smooth satisfying finish in the mouth.
Once fermentation has finished the best robust wines are selected and fortified with wine based distilled spirit to 18%.
|
| | The sweetest kind of sherry. This is made from a grape variety called Pedro Ximénez hence the name PX. When the grapes are ripe, they are picked and laid out in the sun to dry which further concentrates the sugar. The sweetest wines might contain 400g of sugar per litre! Expect flavours of dates, raisins, chocolate, and rum. |
| | Incredible aromas of white truffle, meat, wet earth, lightly burnt orange peel and pure fruit. Medium-bodied and very compact, with a block of silky tannins that run through the palate and then come out at the end with a gorgeous texture. It’s very drinkable now, but will age wonderfully. |
|
| Bright and lively, there isn’t a moment unsuited to enjoying this exhilarating wine. The structure is there to age, but lurks in the background, giving just enough support so as not to dominate the character. I could drink this now, but I must resist temptation. |
| |
Ruby-red in colour with garnet highlights. Aromas of dried cherries and rose petals are complemented by undertones of violets, liquorice, vanilla, and spices. On the palate, this wine is medium-bodied and rich with flavours of tart cherries, rose petals, and hints of truffles with a long, impressive finish. |
| |
Vinification and aging occurs in stainless steel to purely deliver its character.
Floral, elegant and expressive aromatics, high toned texture, harmonious and lively acidity. |
|
| Aroma and finesse with power and body at the same time. Sweet nose, with hints of cherry, black currant, and liquorice. Fruity tannins. |
| | You get structure, power and long aging potential wrap into one beautiful package. Fruit is sourced from a two-hectare vineyard that represent one of this estate’s most historic and celebrated crus. The intensity and vigor of the wine is impeccable and it finishes with well-managed tannins and long flavors of dark fruit, Morello cherry and spice. |
| | A firm backbone softens a little with air and unravels intense aromas of dark fruit, violets, and earth. The palate gradually reveals flavours of bramble and boysenberry fruit mixed with hints of cherry, strawberry, spices, and herbs. |
|
| Woodland berry, cedar and pressed rose form the nose. Taut and medium-bodied, the linear palate features juicy red cherry, spiced cranberry and star anise alongside fine-grained tannins. It closes on an almost salty note. |
| | Good depth of colour with an open and spicy nose with notes of dried fruits, woodsmoke and leather. Full flavoured with good concentration of damson and wild cherry fruit with a warm and velvety mid-palate leading to the characteristic firm, structured finish. Absolutely delicious! |
| |
60% Merlot, 34% Cabernet Sauvignon, 4% Cabernet Franc and 2% Carmenere.
The 2018 Baron de Brane offers ripe red currant and cranberry fruit and hints of cedar and black pepper on a nose that is fuller and more generous than recent vintages. The medium-bodied palate displays fine-grained tannins.
