Christiaan’s reds are
equally fine, with a soft Merlot/Cabernet that
has good blackberry fruit with underpinning soft oak. The Cabernet and Shiraz
Reserve wines
are full of complex plummy fruit. I am not normally a huge fan of Pinotage
but the entry point
Eagle’s Cliff Pinotage is packed with soft
jammy black fruit.

The
Foundry -Stellenbosch
The
Foundry is Chris Williams of Meerlust’s private project and it has received
remendous
accolades since its first vintage in 2001. The Syrah is an intense and complex
wine that is
unfiltered and serious Rhône in style. The Viognier is a thing of beauty with
white peach fruit.
It is only produced in tiny quantities (100 cases) and has received 4½ stars in
Platter 2009.
We are very excited about receiveing 12% of the UK’s allocation of the new
Grenache Blanc.
Tim Atkin wrote of this wine in Decanter in January ‘
Chris Williams’ Syrah and Viognier are
both top notch, but this minerally, lightly oaked Grenache could outdo them
both.

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.
The elegant well crafted wine is the rich, full-bodied Jordan Syrah. 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 and
Merlot,
both 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.

and intense wine that might be a
glimpse of the future, while the delectable Heaven on Earth pudding wine
