Iona KLOOF CHARDONNAY 2023
A cool-climate, mineral-driven Chardonnay bursting with pear and lime zest. Crisp, elegant and tightly focused with subtle oak and a long, saline finish. Refined, modern and effortlessly classy.
Food-pairing
Perfect with oysters, grilled seabass, lemon-roast chicken, or creamy pasta with herbs. The wine’s acidity and minerality cut beautifully through richer dishes.
Anthonij Rupert Cabernet Franc 2020
TASTING NOTE: A subtle trace of violets and graphite underpins the bolder aromas of
blue and black fruit.
Similarly, on the palate a subtle spice element tempers the ripe, rich, rounded and juicy
mouthful. A cocoa powder nuance lends the overall palate a Black Forest gateaux vibe
because of the black cherry vibrance. Elegant, cohesive and structured with the oak
supporting the fruit beautifully. Lovely leashed power and restraint followed by a long tail.

AA Badenhorst Kalmoesfontein White 2020
A lovely white blend with complex aromas that change considerably in the glass. Perfume, spice, tea, stone fruit and citrus blossoms are some of the notes that can be detected. In the mouth the
texture and ripeness and gentle tannins result in a wine that has incredible length and a complex flavour profile. The wine also has wonderful fruit volume characterised by stone fruit and mineral flavours.
