Ashbourne Sandstone 2024
A wine that is all about texture and tension rather than oak, this blend of Sauvignon Blanc,
18% Chardonnay and 16% Semillon was fermented and aged in amphoras, ceramic and
concrete eggs and older barrels. Herbal, structured and pithy, it has appealing aromas of
petrichor and fennel, flavours of citrus, tarragon and elderflower and an enticing bitter twist.
93 Tim Atkin MW South Africa 2025 Special Report
The 2024 Sandstone is a blend of 66% Sauvignon Blanc, 16% Chardonnay and 18% Sémillon, fermented mostly in amphora. It has quite a pungent bouquet that I really like, with touches of white asparagus and nettle and fine delineation. The palate is well balanced, with a touch of lemon and orange rind and just a hint of that asparagus again, with a lovely texture on the finish. It's not a crowd pleaser, but I like its uncompromising nature.

Zevenwacht Tin Mine White 2022
Zevenwacht Tin Mine White 2022 has complex aromatics of apricot, white pear and citrus with floral undertones and hints of oak spice.
Blend - 37.5% Chenin, 33.5% Chardonnay, 13% Roussanne, 9% Semillon, 7 % Viognier
Enjoy this wine with a meal or on it's own and serve chilled. Delicious with full flavoured grilled fish, sumptuous lobster and avocado salad or creamy chicken dishes. The wine had the potential to age for 3-5 years and will gain more complexity and richness over time.
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.
