Winshaw Family Vineyards The Runaway Pinot Gris 2023 – R 145
This vintage has not been rated yet, see 2021 tasting notes:
'The wine is nice and fresh with hints of Granny Smith apple some pear and white peach. The lees contact adds lovely texture and weight to the palate. It has good depth and Pinot Gris is very versatile with food. Paired well with seafood, pasta or vegetarian dishes. Be adventurous and add some spice.' – Winemaker
Intellego, Elementis 2022 – R 300
‘From an Abbotsdale vineyard planted in 1988 on alluvial soils. Fermented on the skins for 14 days before being matured in old 500-litre French oak barrels for 10 months. Very fragrant with note of potpourri, orange, peach and spice. The palate of this vintage has an intriguing structure being quite dense but not overly tannic, the acidity moderate. Perhaps not quite as arresting as usual but still full of flavour. Alc: 12%.’ – Christian Eedes, Winemag.co.za, 94/100
Daniel Colombo 'There's Something About You' Muscat 2024 – R 295
'Grapes from a Skurfberg vineyard on its own roots planted sometime in the early 20th century. The winemaking process involved three batches, each with different skin maceration durations: five days for the first, seven days for the second, and 14 days for the third. Matured for nine months in old 500L barrels. Beguiling aromatics of marmalade, peach, apricot, potpourri, rose geranium, and honey. The palate showcases excellent fruit expression and vibrant acidity, with some light phenolic grip on the finish. A fascinating wine, full of nuance and beautifully balanced. While the 2023 showed promise, this vintage is a revelation.' - Christian Eedes, Winemag.co.za, 95/100
