Please find herewith today’s wine offer featuring an old favourite – Constantia Uitsig. Familiar to many of you, these are some of the Cape’s most elegant and mineral, cool climate styled whites. The Chardonnay is refreshing, clean and crisp. The Sauvignon has classic nettle fruit with a white asparagus finish and the Semillon is just delicious – lemony, waxy, creamy and a stoney finish.
Then the excellent Boschkloof Reds from Cape Winemaker’s Guild Jacques Borman. The latest Cabernet and Merlot vintage release, 2006, expresses pure varietal character of ripe cassis with chocolate and plumy opulence, but with great balance and well-judged oak spice. The flagship wine, Conclusion, is now getting into it's stride after a couple of years in bottle. A must-have for the classic collector; it has a long life ahead of it.
With kind regards,
Stuart
