The Sauvignon Blanc Reserve was recently singled out by wine expert Michael Fridjhon, as being 'SA's most successful single-vineyard Sauvignon Blanc'. Only 450 x 12 cases were released at a cellar door price of R195 per bottle.

Limited release (350 x 12 cases) Steenberg Semillon 2010 offers flavours of apricots and lemon peel reflective of the cool vintage and subtle oaky notes, giving the wine dimension and depth. Cellar door price R190 per bottle.

Catharina 2007, a premium red blend of Cabernet, Merlot and Cabernet Franc pairs well with roast lamb. The wine shows promise of evolving over the years. Cellar door price R185 per bottle.

Nebbiolo 2009, a limited release of 450 x 12 cases, is especially suited to complement touches of mushroom and truffle in Italian cuisine. Cellar door price R170 per bottle.
