This exemplary Chenin starts with aromas of peach, pineapple and vanilla, rolling into juicy flavors of melon, honey and rich fruit. Balanced and with a slightly creamy mouthfeel, the wine is elegant but approachable enough for every day. Pair with salad, seafood. Imported by GBW, LLC.

With its excellent carbonation and full, dry body, this is an easy-pleasing sparkler with notes of lime, ripe green apple and a hint of chalky minerality. The crisp, clean finish makes this a good option for an apéritif or to serve with casual appetizers.

Red berries and blueberry mix with stewed rhubarb and a hint of sweet spice. The ripe berry flavors carry through to the mouth, but the finish reveals a hint of Band-Aid.

The 17% of Viognier added to this Chardonnay dominant blend really adds some character to the wine. Ripe aromas of honeydew, pear and preserved lemons are accented by notes of sweet grass. The medium-weight mouth offers prickly pineapple-flavored acidity as well as a touch of mango pit on the medium length finish. Drink now.

The dark and moody bouquet is loaded with heady black fruit, coffee, smoky leather and cigar box aromas. Unfortunately, the soft mouth offers far less of that intensity, with fading notes of cherry and plum skins. Drink now.

Here’s an interesting Cape Blend with 56% Cabernet Sauvignon, 30% Pinotage and 14% Petit Verdot that’s different yet straightforward and approachable. Kirsch, black plum guts, rubber and vanilla start off on the nose, while the finish provides interesting hints of smoked cured meat and tobacco. Medium weight with soft tannins, this is a good partner for gamy dishes.

This red blend starts with plummy, fruity aromas and a spin of cinnamon spice. On the palate, juicy dark berry flavors mingle with smoke and mocha. The tannins are smooth and the mouthfeel velvety, lush. Overall, the wine has a spicy, smoky character that’s both complex and attractive. Pair with lamb, grilled steaks.

Tropical fruit notes of pineapple and guava backed by accents of sweet grass and clementine citrus flesh out this white. Lively and slightly prickly on the palate.

A very pretty nose of fresh flowers, citrus and creamy toast leads into a balanced, rich Chardonnay-like character on the palate. Minerally, clean, fresh but serious, this wine is food-friendly and elegant. Imported by GBW, LLC.
