Groot Constantia Grand Constance 2019
Deep amber. Orange marmalade, candied apricot, dried fig and honeyed peach on the nose; rich, unctuous palate of glacé orange, raisin and toffee, laced through with a saving streak of fresh acidity that keeps it lifted and drinkable. Layered and long-finishing. The modern heir to the legendary 18th-century Vin de Constance — a piece of wine history every cellar should have.
Mullineux Straw Wine 2024
The Mullineux Straw Wine 2024 is a sweet Chenin Blanc, reflecting a bright golden colour which becomes almost luminous in the light as one swirls the glass, highlighting the exceptionally well-balanced acidity and attractive viscosity. It shows aromas of sun-dried apricots, warm lemon meringue pie, a distinct citrus pithiness and has an intense silky mouthfeel. The wine is best served chilled at 9 to 11 °C.

Muratie Ben Prins Cape Vintage 2020
Muratie Ben Prins Cape Vintage 2020 on the nose is floral notes of violets and roses entice along with Christmas spice and plum pudding. Each sip is deeply rich, with flavours ranging from Kirsch macerated black cherries to dark chocolate enrobed hazelnuts. There are also savoury undertones truffles and tobacco with brisk acidity and warming alcohol in harmony with the lithely powerful structure. Seamlessly integrated after two years in old 225l French oak barrels, this world class wine should reward contemplation for at least another two decades.
