Stylish and reserved like most of Chamonix’s wines, this is a unique selection since Pinot Noir is not a prevalent grape in South Africa. A lovely floral nose, subtle but distinctive, is followed by fruit-forward berries and a lively, Burgundian-style acid lift. The finish is long but gentle.

A blend of Cabernet, Cabernet Franc and Merlot, this Bordeaux-style red has beautiful, layered aromatics leading into poised flavors of pepper and spice, and the structure is both assertive and balanced. A great food wine, it will pair well with everything from salmon to grilled steak.

An opulent nose of peach and pineapple leads on this full, round, wooded Sauvignon Blanc from lauded winemaker Gottfried Mocke. Ripe melon mingles with wooded spice in a delicious marriage that is both elegant and distinctive among the more prevalent lean and green New World style of SB. This is clearly a food-driven wine, meant to hold its own against stronger dishes. The finish is long and touched with spice. Delightful and distinctive.

This structured, creamy wine displays all of the hallmakers of a great Chardonnay: appetizing toasted wood, elegant, integrated flavors and a natural acid that gives the wine excellent balance. A great food wine.
