Plum, ripe blackberry and gamy spice give this Pinotage a nice balance of elegant and exotic flavors, with notes of herb and an overall pretty berry character adding dimension. The wine is accessible and its minerality gives it good food-pairing potential.

Subtle, smooth and elegant on the finish, this is both approachable and distinctive. The wine is balanced with bright fruit and an underpinning of smoke and spice. A very versatile food pairing choice.

A very rich nose of toast, honey and a touch of orange give this Chardonnay an impressive start. Lemon and orange flavors mingling with minerality offer a fresh but elegant edge. Pretty and a lovely balance of Old and New World styles.

From Tygerberg, this attractive Cabernet offers smoked sausage and spice on the nose and a wonderful balance of pepper, smoke and juicy fruit on the palate. It’s assertive and ageable but good now. A hint of restrained minerality means it will pair well with myriad foods.

Herbs, spice and an earthy undertone of leather give this affordable sipper character and weight. The flavors of raspberry and blueberry are integrated but vibrant, and the texture smooth. An elegant choice that will pair well with almost any meat-driven dish.

Zippy, grassy aromas with a touch of floral sweetness typify the nose of this wine, while on the palate, good acidity and fresh flavors are balanced by a round, complex mouthfeel. A fun Sauvignon Blanc with added character, it will pair with everything from a marinated seafood salad to richer poultry dishes.

Citrus, a touch of flowers and some fresh green notes on the nose start this energetic wine from sixth generation winemaker Diermersdal. Crisp natural acidity on the palate paired with rounded, balanced flavors seal the deal. This is a poised white with an abundance of personality.

Not too oaky, but it was hard to get past the smell of urine.

Earthy. Usually to me, that means the wine has a dirt flavor which I find to be extremely disppaointing but this does it well with some good fruit forward flavors. Once it breathes, it opens up a lot and becomes much more enjoyable so I would recoemmend decanting this one. Had it with some steaks and it was just fine, I may try this one again.

I'm fairly certain this wine was corked when I received it. Otherwise, it's just terrible.
