Diemersdal Pinotage 2022 shows a complex nose of red fruits, vanilla, exotic spices, and rich dark chocolate aromas. The palate is full flavoured and smoothly textured with oriental spice, chocolate and roasted banana flavours. Ready to drink, but will also benefit from another 5 years’ cellaring.

Zevenwacht The Tin Mine Red 2021 has a complex nose of blackberry, cranberry and dark cherries with savoury herbs and peppery spice.

The Vilafonte Series C 2019 displays an intense ruby-purple colour and a vibrant, crimson rim. Dense on opening, this blend offers seductively fragrant layers of blackberry, cassis and baked plum, perfectly offset by a savoury, hoisin sauce note. Opulent floral notes; violet and lilac harmoniously blend to fresh-crushed juniper berry, pencil shavings, nuanced dark chocolate and sweet, warm nutmeg. The palate reveals a plush, expansive entry, with vivid continuity. Fine-grained tannins throughout embody a cashmere embrace, building on the fine and assertive structure. Sumptuous black berry fruits are expressive and well-defined, underpinned by a mouth-watering core with effortlessly long finish. While alluring in its youth, the 2019 Series C promises a decade or more of cellaring to realise its full potential.

Ripe, brambly forest fruit, mint, spice, red plum and blackcurrant are just some of the fruits here, before some leathery spice and earthier notes begin to emerge too.

Deep, garnet red with a violet rim. A very expressive nose with great quality aromas and a frankness that underlines the predominance of the raw material, with touches of mulberry, blueberry and liquorice. On the palate it is sweet and well-balanced, with tasty and mature tannins.
