Shiraz Mourvedre Grenache
Shiraz leads the way with layers of fruit and spiciness. Mourvedre brings a pervasive savouriness. Grenache rounds off the union with red berry fruit and refreshing acidity. Kaleidoscope of sensuality melded into firm yet friendly build. Versatile food pairing wine that works particularly well with dishes featuring Mediterranean spices including red pepper, sage, rosemary and olive oil.
Oupa Bull
Pinotage Reserve
A stately expression of this proudly South African variety, unfolds layers of spiced up blackberry, cassis and dark chocolate with cedarwood undertones. Soft, gentle tannins with lingering dark plum flavours seasoned and framed by oak.

Cabernet Sauvignon Petit Verdot Malbec
Fruity, earthy, medium bodied: Cabernet Sauvignon guides the blend with its dusty nuances and nutty flavours. Petit Verdot brings a firm palate bursting with juicy cherry/red berry fruits. Malbec concludes with its colour intensity and juiced up choc-mint succulence.
