| Serious Chenin Blanc from one of the Cape’s most celebrated producers. Pale yellow

mouth-feel. Perfect for everyday drinking. |
|

£8.75 |
| 82% Shiraz, 12% Mourvèdre, 6% Viognier with hints of mulberries and strawberries

£11.50 |
| 59% Syrah, 32% Cabernet, 9% Mourvèdre with a lively ruby appearance. Great purity
of fruit, spice and an earthy minerality. Full and rich on the palate - this is an amazing
expression of the terroir with a long chalky finish. |
|
| 2005 Lammershoek Roulette Rouge, Paul Kretzel |
£11.50 |
| 74% Shiraz, 14% Carignan, 10% Grenache, 2% Viognier. Cassis, tobacco and lots of
spiciness on the nose, blending well with wood tones on the palate. It has good structure
and volume, the Carignan giving acidity, and the Grenache the soft and complex tannins. |
|
| 2007 Vondeling Erica Shiraz |
£12.00 |
| 90% Shiraz, 6% Mourvedre, 4% Carignan. Alcohol 14.5%. A wine with great opulence

and an elegant and velvety finish. Drink now-2015. |
|
| 2005 The Foundry Syrah, Coastal |
£20.00 |
| The Foundry Syrah 2005 is deep, opaque purple-ruby in colour. The enticingly
perfumed bouquet is exotic with hints of wild herbs, plum fruit and has a pronounced savoury and
spicy character. The palate is intense and rich with generous ripe fruit and structured, silky tannins.
There is a delicious, lingering, fruit and spice aftertaste. |
|
| 2005 Rubicon, Meerlust Estate, Stellenbosch |
£25.00 |
| 69% Cabernet Sauvignon, 15 % Merlot and 16 % Cabernet Franc. The wine spent a
total of 24 months in French oak casks. This is a brooding wine, restrained yet beginning to
emerge, with deep, dark fruit, cassis, plum and black cherry. There is a pronounced minerality
on the nose with graphite, cedar smoke and cigar box bouquet. The palate is beautifully
structured, full bodied and opulent. Drink now – 2020. |
|
| 2007 Columella Syrah, Swartland |
£45.00 |
| This wine has a very complex aromatic line ranging from some very earthy and grafite aromas to almost anice; a very black fruit appearance combined with some nutty, almond flavours. It is a wine with a character for tomorrow; the wine has an amazing tannin and acidity structure which will stand it in good stead for ageing. Drink now-2017. |
Sweet Wine
£ per bottle (75cl) Inc Vat |
|
| 2006 Straw Wine, De Trafford 37.5cl |
£25.00 |
| Self-taught winemaker and former architect David Trafford’s small but stellar production is regularly cited as being among the Cape’s very best. David’s winemaking philosophy is deceptively simple: to make the best possible wine he can whilst retaining a sense of place. To do this he embraces Stellenbosch’s warm, sunny climate and rich, clay soils, noting that his vines are not planted on “the shagged out alluvial plains of the Medoc with their miserable climate”. The wines tend to agree with him. They have rich fruit and a juicy ripeness but they are crisply pressed and structured too. His ability to blend New World innovation and Old World methodology can perhaps be best seen in his sweet Straw Wine, which has quickly become one of the Cape’s most fiercely sought after wines. |
