Roseani Riviera
Smooth, smooth wine with a soft tannic strength that extends pleasantly on the palate. The bracing quality on the nose provides a bright, uplifting quality, but the finish is long and satisfying, with a pleasant lingering aftertaste that will only improve with time.
Zaak Lepich
Wine that is truly worth its price range.
Chunlok
A poignant, limited release that resonates deeply with me, as I was one of the firefighters who bore witness to the devastating impact of this wine on the community. It is a remarkable wine, evoking the rich, mellow touch of a Shiraz, with a complexity and structure that belies its humble origins. Its smooth, sophisticated character makes it an excellent recommendation for savoring, and its current state is nothing short of exceptional.

Lourensford Limited Release Merlot is praised for its smooth, full-bodied character with rich dark berry flavors and a harmonious blend of oak and spice. While some appreciate its complexity and structure, others find it simply pleasant. The wine's tannins are well-balanced, and it offers a satisfying, lingering finish. Its versatility and depth make it a favorite for both casual and special occasions.
This Merlot presents a deep garnet hue, indicative of its concentrated nature. The bouquet is a sophisticated interplay of ripe black cherry and plum, underscored by hints of cedar and dark chocolate. On the palate, it reveals a plush, velvety texture with finely integrated tannins, offering a harmonious balance between fruit and oak. The mid-palate is enlivened by a subtle minerality and a whisper of spice, leading to a lingering, elegant finish. This wine exemplifies the refined structure and complexity characteristic of premium South African Merlot, making it a noteworthy addition to any connoisseur’s collection.
