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.

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.
