Tasting Notes:
Family Series Winemaker’s Blend White 2021 – Small-batch produced exclusively for the Wine Club Box
The nose shows beautiful notes of ripe yellow pears, baked apples, and sweet apricot blossoms. The fruit follows through to a palate that is textured and marked by a soft, but lingering acidity There is a sense of minerality throughout the palate, which is a wonderful counterbalance for the richness derived from extended lees ageing.
Limited Release Sauvignon Blanc / Sémillon 2021 – Pre-release
A wonderful wet quartz-like minerality on the nose opens to aromas of white peach, litchi, gooseberry, and lemongrass. The palate, while full and textured, is balanced by a lingering acidity.
Saxenburg Family Series 2nd Generation Syrah 2020 – Small-batch produced exclusively for the Wine Club Box
A beautifully perfumed nose, with loads of freshly cut red berries, pink peppercorn, and a hint of leather. The entry to the palate is bright, beautifully weighted and opens to a medley of flavour, with wonderful fruit purity. The acidity is refreshing, and the tannins are fine and grippy, while the finish is long and wonderfully dry.

Platter’s Wine Guide – 4 stars
Private Collection Pinotage 2020 – Pre-release
The colour is bright red and on the nose, you will find loads of red cherries, raspberries, blueberries, and blossoms, balanced by a faint whiff of damp soil. The beautiful fruit on the nose carries through to a palate that is elegant, with finely grained tannins.
Private Collection Merlot 2006 – Vinotèque
The 16 years of ageing is starting to show in the colour of the wine, but don’t let this fool you – this wine is full of life and character! A very attractive nose of ripe, slightly jammy, berries, pencil shavings and worn leather. The palate has a sense of freshness to it, with a great line of acidity beautifully balanced by the sweet taste of molasses. The tannins are still very much present and add further interest to the palate.
Platter’s Wine Guide – 4 stars
Private Collection Cabernet Sauvignon 2008 – Vinotèque
After 14 years, the colour is still dark, with very little sign of ageing. The nose is impressive, with loads of fresh blue- and blackberries, pencil shavings, and some tobacco leaf. These aromatics follow through to a palate that is dense, with its wonderfully fine tannins still very much present. The beautiful long, dry finish leaves you wanting more!
