  2021 Syrah, Boekenhoutskloof

  £4500

  Established in 1776 in the remote reaches of the Franschhoek Valley, Boekenhoutskloof is one of South Africa’s most esteemed wine estates. Under the visionary direction of Marc Kent, the winery has become renowned for crafting expressive, site-driven wines that reflect the unique terroirs of the Cape. The Boekenhoutskloof Syrah is a benchmark expression of Swartland Syrah, sourced from two exceptional sites: the rugged, schist-rich slopes of Porseleinberg (90%) and the sandstone-tinged Goldmine vineyards (10%) on the flanks of the Kasteelberg.

  The 2021 vintage opens with a concentrated, perfumed nose of ripe plum, violet petals, and exotic spice. There’s an immediate sense of depth and precision, with layers of black and red berries, cracked pepper, and subtle earthy undertones. The palate is bold and structured, offering flavours of blueberry compote, black liquorice, and anise, interwoven with a vibrant minerality and hints of iron and tar. Rich yet poised, the mouthfeel is full-bodied and complex, with polished tannins and a taut, lively acidity that drives the wine forward.

  The finish is long and savoury, lingering with nuances of sweet tobacco, black cardamom, and charred wood, a compelling reflection of its Swartland origins and a Syrah of serious pedigree.

  2021 Semillon, Boekenhoutskloof

  £4500

  Founded in 1776 in the remote Franschhoek Valley, Boekenhoutskloof has become one of South Africa’s most iconic wineries, known for crafting expressive, terroir-driven wines. At the heart of this legacy lies a deep respect for heritage vineyards, none more profound than the historic Semillon parcels that form the backbone of this extraordinary wine. Made from Certified Heritage Vineyards, planted in 1902, 1936, and 1942, this Semillon represents one of the most compelling and age-worthy white wines in the Cape.

  The 2021 vintage reflects the quiet power and depth that only old vines can deliver. Pale straw in colour, the wine opens with an initially reserved bouquet that gently reveals delicate aromas of melon, kumquat, acacia flower, and jasmine, layered with hints of ginger spice and apple blossom. On the palate, it is pure, textured, and elegant, showcasing flavours of poached pear, quince, lemon zest, and starfruit, with well-integrated oak lending gentle complexity.   Subtle nuances of angelica, chamomile, and a light saline edge carry through to the finish, which is persistent, refined, and ever-so-slightly spicy.  A small addition of historic Muscat d’Alexandrie, planted in 1902, brings a whisper of aromatic lift, while naturally occurring Semillon Gris adds structure and intrigue.

  2018 Estate Grown Pinot Noir, Sleepy Hollow Vineyard, Talbott

  £4800

  Talbott Vineyards is defined by its iconic Sleepy Hollow Vineyard, where the conditions are ideal for exceptional, cool-climate Pinot Noir. Located in the northern area of the Santa Lucia Highlands AVA in Monterey County, it has been designated one of California’s Grand Cru vineyards by Wine Enthusiast in 2016, for its ability to produce exceptional wines year after year. The vines were first planted in 1972 at an elevation of 168 metres and cover 228 hectares. Due to the proximity of the Pacific Ocean and the east-to-northeasterly exposure, cooling fog and frequent ocean breezes temper the warm sunshine, giving Sleepy Hollow one of the longest growing seasons in California and allowing each grape to develop concentrated flavours.

  This Pinot Noir offers a distinct earthiness, minerality with hints of nutmeg and clove mingling with notes of ripe black cherry, raspberry and vanilla bean to deliver a rich, mouth-filling texture through to a complex finish.

  2021 Pinot Noir, Scribe Winery

  £4900

  Scribe Winery produces vibrant, terroir-driven wines from Sonoma, California. The winery was founded in 2007 on a property that helped pioneer pre-prohibition Sonoma Valley wine-making and is managed by fourth-generation California farmers and brothers, Andrew and Adam Mariani.

  A pure, elegant and classy Pinot Noir with bright red fruits layered with floral notes, rhubarb and a touch of cacao through to a silky palate with refined tannins and a long, smooth finish.

  The Pinot Noir grapes come from three vineyards across the Carneros AVA. This wine is made up of a blend of equal parts of clones Dijon 777, known for being dark and rich and produces rich, velvety and complex wines; Dijon 115, which delivers pure Pinot Noir flavours and Pommard, which delivers pure, dark fruit. Two of the vineyards, Sandbach and El Novillero, are both within a five-mile radius of the Scribe Estate and the remainder are on similar Huichica soils. The third, the Reinke Vineyard, lies a little further east on Bressa-Dibble clay loam soils. All three vineyards benefit from the cooling influence from the winds of the San Pablo Bay, which creates a cooler mesoclimate resulting in slow, even ripening, which helps to build concentrated fruit flavours, while retaining natural, balancing acidity. The grapes are hand-harvested at night to preserve the fresh vibrancy in the fruit.

  2021 Rosso di Montalcino ‘Ignaccio’, Il Marroneto

  £4950

  Il Marroneto produce some of the purest and most perfumed expressions of Sangiovese made anywhere. Part of the secret lies in their prime location within Brunello’s traditional top class territory, situated at 450m above sea level with a cool northern exposure. Combined with the much lauded talents of gifted winemaker Alessandro Mori, and it’s clear to see why Il Marroneto are so highly coveted by Montalcino fans worldwide.

  Alessandro Mori has always adopted a traditional approach, aiming for elegance and purity, without sacrificing depth or impact in his wines. Organic practices have been used in the vineyards since 1988, while natural fermentation occurs and there is neither fining nor filtration before bottling.

  Both the Brunello and the Rosso start their life back at the winery as Brunellos, but during their maturation journey, Alessandro will make the decision to ‘declassify’ several bottis, resulting in a small release of Rosso di Montalcino. Prior to fermentation, the grapes spend around 2 days in steel with regular stirring followed by a slow fermentation and maceration for 3 weeks. The fruit is moved into large Slavonian and French Botti for 24 months then racked off and left to settle in steel for a brief period before bottling and release into the market.

  2022 Estate Reserve Cuvée Blanc, Lismore Estate Vineyards

  £4995

  Lismore Estate is based in Greyton within the Overberg region of the Western Cape of South Africa.  It’s here with the Sonderend mountains as a backdrop that winemaker & proprietor Samantha O’Keefe makes her fabulous wines.

  This incredible blend of Roussanne, Chardonnay and Viognier has fragrant aromas of yellow plum, spice and orange blossom that lead to a beautifully balanced palate, with crisp acidity, saline mineral notes and a lemongrass embroidered finish.

  The grapes come from the Greyton ward in the Western Cape, which has been designated by SAWIS in recognition of the special terroir of this region. The vineyards are planted on steep slopes in decomposed shale over clay at 300 metres above sea level, in the foothills of the Sonderend Mountain Range. Here the climate plays an important role: the low mean February temperature lends to an extended ripening period that results in a harvest that takes place three to four weeks later than traditional wine growing regions in South Africa. The Cuvée Blanc is a blend of 90% Roussanne, 5% Viognier, 5% Chardonnay; the Roussanne vines were grafted onto the trunks following the estate fire which destroyed vines in 2019. The roots are from 2016 and are planted on the coolest slope on the farm, which makes it the last variety to be picked. The intense citrus notes and the lingering finish are consistent hallmarks of Lismore’s specific terroir.
