 | CHARDONNAY Kaaimansgat * | 2017 | 15.90 |
| The essence of capturing complexity drives the flavour profile of this Chardonnay.
Structured with many layered flavour components arising from combinations of
best French Oak, yeast, lees contact and finest fruit, which all reward the palate
with a kaleidoscope of tastes. This pleasing palate adventure offers hints of litchi,
white peach, kiwi fruit, strawberry smoothie and golden tangerine combining to
generate a memorable taste experience. Ageing potential is excellent. The wine was left in barrel (20 % new oak) for eight months. |

| CHARDONNAY Kaaimansgat * | 2020 | 17.85 |
| Lush mineral spice and stone fruit blossom at the fore. Explosive lime-infused
flavours of green apple are amplified by a precise energy. Gentle touch of candied
ginger and toast. Vivacious and lasting finish. Eight months maturation in traditional 228L barrels, complemented by a number of 350L barrels.

| CHARDONNAY Kaaimansgat | 2022 | 18.50 |

 | PINOT NOIR Galpin Peak | 2019 | 34.95 |
| Firm and resonating with anticipation, its flavour profile is slowly unfolding. A little patience will offer a generous palate of fruits of the forest flavours and development of complex cherry and dark berry tones. Polished and lingering, it will benefit from ageing. Aged for ten months in French oak barrels, 30% of which are new. |

| PINOT NOIR Galpin Peak | 2021 | 38.05 |
| Grapes from eight different estate vineyards go into the production of this elegant,
refined, well-balanced Pinot Noir.
Curated in 30% new barrels, it has good zip and energy, goji berry and red cherry fruit and a
racy, mineral-edged finish. |
