'"We completely over-deliver on this wine," says Reenen Borman without false modesty. Blending whole bunch-fermented Grenache with 20% Syrah, it's an intense expression of the granite soils of the Polkadraai Hills. Picked early for acidity and focus, it has aromas of clove, thyme and subtle, meaty reduction, redcurrant and black cherry fruit and savoury, sinewy tannins. 2024-29' – Tim Atkin MW, SA Special Report 2023, 93/100
'An 80: 20 blend, the nose shows red currant, strawberry, fynbos and white pepper, while the palate has pure fruit, bright acidity and powdery tannins, the finish nicely savoury (alcohol: 13.4%). A whole lot of happiness' – Christian Eedes, Winemag.co.za, 92/100

| Producer information | Reenen Borman of Boschkloof is a rock star Stellenbosch winemaker whose star keeps on rising. We believe he has been making some of the most exciting wines in South Africa. The name 'Kottabos' refers to a drinking game played in ancient Greece. The Kottabos label gives Reenen more freedom in expressing himself in these wines, which are made from vineyards in the Polkadraai area. |
