L’Ormarins Brut Classique NV 2020
is a great choice for your festivities. A lively stream of fine bubbles brings sherbet and lemon cream biscuit aromas to the nose. It is vibrant, fresh, and crisp in the mouth with those bright, citrus flavours promised by the nose immediately apparent. Tangy lime and grapefruit with a marmalade twist, and an understated apple and toast nuance adds complexity and dimension. Beautifully elegant and composed with a resolved dry finale.
Vergelegen Florence Rose 2023 is part of the Heritage Collection, characterised by delightful drinking experiences and wide appeal among wine lovers. Strawberry and raspberry notes abound with a delicate acidity and rose-gold hue. The perfect summer wine for al fresco lunches, braais, and picnics. Also enjoy with sushi, fresh oysters, or a fragrant Cape Malay curry. Ready to drink now or over the next 5 years.
Boschendal Grande Cuvée Vintage Brut MCC unveils crisp green apple and citrus notes dancing with subtle almond biscotti and brioche richness.

Neil Ellis West Coast Sauvignon Blanc 2024
This festive season, immerse yourself in the tropical flavours of passion fruit and melon with a hint of citrus peel and sea-salt minerality with a lingering finish.
