Onder leiding van wijnmaker Marc Bradshaw produceren zij bijzondere wijnen en ijwijnen waarmee diverse internationale prijzen zijn behaald.

Cabernet Merlot 2004

An excellent medium-bodied Cabernet Merlot displaying a deep ruby color. Rich in aromas of tobacco, black cherry, cedar with mild smoky characters and an underlying hint of subtle mint. The palate exudes flavours of lush, ripe forest berries, mint, green capsicum and black cherry with good tannic structure. The length is long with a lovely, lingering heat which fades delicately. Crafted for easy drinking, this wine tastes great now and will only get better over the next couple of years. A fantastic match for any barbie, dishes with whatever sort of meat product, top notch gourmet style pizza and medium-bodied cheeses.

Gewürztraminer Riesling Fusion 2006

Tasting Notes:
This lovely wine, light straw in color, releases a delicate, yet enthralling bouquet full of peach, apricot, grapefruit and mango, with lemon rind and flint teasing the senses. The exciting palate, exploding with pineapple, grapefruit, peach, and passionfruit, is rich and lush provided through the dosage of Riesling Icewine. Brilliantly balanced by the zesty, mouth-watering acidity with a long, lingering finish, this wine is perfect with Asian cuisine, chicken salads or any seafood dishes. Wanna spoil yourself? Give this wine a crack just on its own after that long day when you need to unwind, I think you’ll find a taste sensation right here.

Semillon Icewine 2006

Tasting Notes:
The world premier of Semillon Icewine is a sure delight. With a lovely deep golden color, the nose is filled with tropical fruit aromas of mango, peach and apricot with a touch of nutmeg and hazelnut. The excitement experienced by the nose is second only to that of the palate, which bursts with lush tropical sensations of apricots and peach, and a hint of citric lychee and lime. The superb caramelized honey finish coupled with the well-balanced acid spine results in an absolute taste sensation. A must chilled with fruit salads or just on its own as an aperitif. This wine will age beautifully for at least 5 years due to the high yet balanced acidity.
