Christiaan’s reds are
equally fine, with a soft Merlot/Cabernet that has good blackberry fruit with
underpinning soft oak. I am not normally a huge fan of Pinotage
but the entry point
Eagle’s Cliff
Pinotage is packed with soft
jammy black fruit and none of the tobacco flavours that spoil
so many The Shiraz Reserve is aged in oak and is full of complex plummy fruit.

Paul
Cluver - Elgin
The Cluver family
make some of the most intriguing aromatic wines in South Africa
and are always
lauded in Platter’s Wine Guide. Close to the Southern tip of the
Cape at Hermanus, the region’s cool climate means that they are ideally suited for
the
varieties below. The view from the top of the vineyard is reminiscent of the
Spey Valley and you can see why the first settlers called it Elgin. For lovers
of pudding wines,
the astonishing comes Noble Late Harvest Riesling
that John Platter named
as one of his coveted 5star wines in 2009.
The delectable Sauvignon Blanc
was rated
best value out of a tasting of over 200 examples of this grape in
Decanter Magazine.

Jordan Estate - Stellenbosch
Gary and Kathy Jordan
are undoubtedly two of the greatest winemakers in South
Africa.
Their 134 hectares of vineyards stretch up over the Stellenbosch Kloof. Their classic
Sauvignon Blanc has long between considered one of South
Africa’s finest, and
the wooded Chenin makes an attractive addition with
citrus fruit combining with
creamy, spicy oak, and the massive
Nine Yards Chardonnay puts many a
Côte d’Or burgundy to
shame. Don’t miss the big unfiltered Cabernet Sauvignon Syrah
and Merlot,
all three classic examples of the winemaker’s art and the ‘Cobbler’s Hill ’ is
simply
sensational; made from the best selection of all their vines, it has
unbelievable structure.
The delightful
Mellifera botrytis Riesling is an a must for pudding wine aficionados.
