White Glass Bottle Summertime (Cloof) Sauvignon Blanc ................................................ 35 ................ 90 The taste of summer – and its ideal accompaniment. Fresh and zingy. Nederburg Riesling ....................................................................................... ................ 110 A gorgeous delicateness to its freshness on the palate, helped by a mere 12% alcohol. Secateurs Chenin Blanc (Badenhorst Family Wines) .......................... ............... 125 Ancient bush vine Chenin is a natural treasure, and Adi Badenhorst treats the fruit from these 50-year-old vines like gold. When you’ve tired of acidic Sauvignon you’ll lap up this gentle, yet full-bodied wine. Yum! Diemersdal Unwooded Chardonnay ........................................................ ................135 Chablis has met its match in this flinty, food-friendly wine from the Louw family in Durbanville. Lomond Sauvignon Blanc ............................................................................ ............... 140 Planted on virgin vine lands, these vineyards face a daily barrage of southerly winds blowing across the ocean, just 8km away. The purity of the fruit and cleansing nature of the acidity are just spectacular. Ken Forrester Reserve Chenin Blanc ....................................................... ................155 Ken describes this wine as “a great example of the harmonious balance which can be achieved between fruit and delicate oak/vanilla flavours”. We see no reason to disagree with him! Mulderbosch Chardonnay ........................................................................... ................ 175 Delicious barrel-fermented chardonnay. The oak does little more than 'kiss' the citrus fruits, and the palate remains lively. Previous vintages have earned five stars from Platter. Rosé De Grendel Rosé ......................................................................................... 35 .............. 100 Rosé doesn't come any more easy going than this. Gorgeous berry flavours from Pinotage and Cabernet Sauvignon make it absolutely spot-on as an aperitif or food companion. Red Glass Bottle Cab Cult (Cloof) Cabernet Sauvignon ................................................... 35 ................. 90 The enjoyment delivered by this wine’s mouthfilling juicy fruit and silky tannin finish is worthy of cult status. Zonnebloem Merlot ....................................................................................... ................135 If you're ordering merlot, best you don't have Miles from the cult movie Sideways at your table. Sticking with movies, this wine is a bit like Lindsay Lohan in her Disney period, before she grew up. It's easy-going and certainly has a happy ending. The Very Sexy Shiraz (Cloof) ....................................................................... ................135 This wine is what happens when you take fabulous shiraz fruit from Darling, age it in French oak, and then let Oscar loose on the marketing. Most estates would sell this quality of shiraz for double the money. Gold medals proliferate. Secateurs Red Blend (Badenhorst Family Wines) ................................ ............... 145 A blend based on Shiraz, with smatterings of Grenache, Cinsault, Cabernet, Carignan and Mourvedre couldn’t be anything but interesting. In a really good way. Just drink it. Diemersdal Pinotage ..................................................................................... ............... 160 This pinotage is somewhat demure (in a good way). It's elegant and well-structured, which means it's not going to f*** up the flavour of your cheeseburger, as the saying goes. Tokara Cabernet Sauvignon ....................................................................... ................ 175 Tired of over-the-top, slightly sweet blockbusters? This cabernet delivers elegance, refreshment and overall food-friendliness. Meinert Cabernet Sauvignon ...................................................................... ............... 210 Martin Meinert is one of the winelands’ true gentlemen, a modest man not given to hyperbole or self-aggrandisement – much like this elegant and refined wine. Paul Cluver Pinot Noir ................................................................................. ............... 270 Elgin’s high-altitude vineyards provide Pinot Noir with the ideal growing conditions, and the people at Cluver do a brilliant job of guiding the fruit from vineyard to bottle. Luxury in a glass! Sparkling Tradition Brut NV (Villiera) .................................................................... 49 ................ 175 The Griers of Villiera represent all that is good about traditional values, and after more than two decades, this brand has created a tradition of its own. Graham Beck Brut ........................................................................................ ............... 185 The perfect bubble started with the vision and pioneering spirit of an extraordinary man, implemented by a winemaker they now call ‘Bubbles’ Ferreira.
