Vineyard: Made primarily from cold pressed Merlot, the vineyard selected for this wine is nearly 20yrs old. Located at the forefront of a spur jutting out of the Voor Paardeberg Mountain, the berries are well exposed to sunlight. Exposure to sunlight is essential to eliminate any green flavours from the grape. The soil has a high clay percentage & this lends softness & volume to the wine. Great care is taken to ensure that the vines do not bear too great a crop or suffer from drought. This is done through green cropping of the vines & micro-irrigation. Both practices help to preserve the natural acidity, freshness & vibrancy of the grape aromas. Vinification: All our grapes are picked at optimum ripeness in the early hours of the morning. The grapes are then destemmed & chilled before they are pressed. This short supply from vine to press ensures minimal degradation of the fruit aromas & a very moderate extraction of colour. All free run juice is kept separate from the 'colour fraction' to ensure a deliciously subtle salmon colour. The juice is cold settled to remove any coarseness & fermentation is done in stainless steel tanks. The wine is 100% unoaked. The wine is aged on its yeast lees for 6 months to allow it to fill out & gain complexity. The wine is relatively light in alcohol & calories. ...

The wine displays a golden to light amber colour. It has a perfumed nose of bright pineapple, ripe apricot, honeyed marmalade & seductive rose petal. These heady aromas are supported by orange blossom, jasmine & wild rosemary. The nose carries through to the taste, where the mouth-watering sweetness is cut by a tangy acidity, which ensures a persistent & refreshing finish. This is a naturally fermented & unfortified wine & allows for many delightful treats, which may incl. savoury duck liver pate, sweet spice-laced puddings & traditional soft cheeses.

Perfectly clear to the eye, the spirit at 41% abv has impressively long legs around the rim of the glass. Very fresh but elegant on the nose, you are met by a wave of aromas, sweeter than you would expect from a rye spirit. First present are the sweeter characters of honey & butterscotch, which then give way to more savoury & spicy aromas of hazelnuts, fresh bread & white pepper. On the palate we are again first confronted by soft, sweeter characters as well as a lovely, more intense acacia honey flavour tinged with rich butterscotch, & a hint of liquorice. These initial flavours then give way to those more commonly associated with a rye spirit: nuttiness, hints of malt & yeast, & a touch of clove. The finish is long & zingy & the spicy mouth feel is overlaid with the fresher characters of the initial tasting. ...

This is a blend of oak aged rum of up to seven years old. The oak used to age the rum are used Bourbon casks. On the front of the bottle is a picture of the tree ' Flamboyant' which is the national flower of Mauritius. Flamboyant comes into flower during the time of independence in March when the trees lining the sides of the roads in great avenues are ablaze with colour. Golden in colour due to oak maturation, the rum has no artificially added colours. This is fantastic sipping rum with a big, smooth, well-rounded nose & palate. ...
