The Reserve Brut Rosé pours a medium salmon/pink color. The nose is layered, fruity, and inviting, with aromas of crushed strawberries, fresh baked croissant, marzipan, and floral perfume.

Fijn en subtiel, peer, bloemen, brioche, rokerig, aardbei. Zacht en mild, breed, fijne mousse, mooi fruit, diepgang.
Vol rood fruit, vol verleidelijke smaken, zacht en innemend, en toch niet te liefjes, want hij heeft ook die ruige, aardse ondertoon die zo karakteristiek is voor cava. Veel mousserend plezier.
The Bokkeveld shale Syrah is comparatively dense and grippy - more Cornas than Côte Rôtie, if you want a Rhône Valley comparison - so is bold enough to soak up 100% new wood.

This is extremely aromatic, at once salty and floral, exuding aromas of violets, green olives, seaweed, mulberries, cumin and rosewater. The fruit is singing too.

The bouquet instantly seduces with black fruit, cracked black pepper, rosemary and thyme. It is understated, yet the aromatics possess real presence. This is just a delicious Syrah.
Notes of cigar box, milk chocolate and subtle hints of pepper. Well defined with satiny tannins, it has a linear and precise structure that leads to a subtle, dark fruit-driven finish. Why wait?

Cassis and blueberry cut with damson-juice, kumquat-sharp freshness, fragrance and acidity. A sweet earthy char at the heart of the wine, and sweet raw-red-meatiness.

A super-smart buy, with kaleidoscopic spicy lift of black and white pepper, star anise and cinnamon to the bramble-fruited nose and palate. Tapering and super-fluid.
