An inviting olfactory landscape delineated by hints of red and black cherry, plum and dark chocolate; a touch of black pepper follows. Warm, round, solidly-structured taste with a perfectly blended tannic vein. Closes with traces of licorice.

The harvest from these parcels is always carried out later because of the dominant varieties, Cabernet Franc & Cabernet Sauvignon. Careful vinification gives this wine depth, elegance and length in the mouth. The floral bouquet of the Cabernet variety is predominant in the wines youth but develops later towards the more complex aromas of a Grand Vin de Bordeaux. Beautiful deep colour with purple tints. Focused and fruity nose with faint toast in the background. The same fairly elegant aromatic combination flows through to the palate. A very accessible, supple, crisp Bordeaux.

The Quarry is a powerful expression of Hawke's Bay's famed Gimblett Gravels, crafted from the finest parcels of Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc and Merlot grown on land once destined to become a quarry - saved instead for vines by determined local vignerons. Produced only in exceptional vintages and matured in selected barriques, this rare wine reflects Craggy Range's meticulous single-site philosophy and the remarkable depth and structure the stony, free-draining soils impart. Deep garnet in colour, it opens with lifted aromas of blackcurrant, anise and bergamot, leading into a richly textured palate where blackberry, redcurrant and sweet brioche sit in perfect sweet-savory harmony. With opulent yet refined tannins and classic Cabernet blend hallmarks, The Quarry is built for longevity and will reward cellaring for up to a decade.

Rich plum and pomegranate fruit with hints of tobacco leaf and spice layered over beautifully ripe tannins and well-handled oak.

A decadent and indulgent expression of South African winemaking, crafted from grapes grown on the decomposed granite slopes of the Darling Hills, where cooling Atlantic breezes shape their character. A portion of the fruit is left to naturally raisin on the vine, lending richness and intensity before being blended with oak-matured Pinotage. The result is seductively smooth and full-bodied, with alluring aromas of Turkish delight, chocolate, red cherry and vanilla, followed by layers of plum, butterscotch and supple tannins. Rich, balanced and irresistibly moreish, it lingers long on the palate and pairs beautifully with berry or chocolate desserts, or savoury meat and pasta dishes.

Decades ago, a tractor launching a ski-boat off Yzerfontein was caught in a high tide and was never recovered - it can be spotted occasionally when tide is low.

These concentrated flavours follow through on the palate combined with a fine tannin structure, gives this wine a rich and complex finish.

The Côtes du Rhône Saint-Esprit is made from a blend of Syrah and Grenache which come from a small village in the Ardèche region. The vineyard's southern exposure on steep granite hillsides provides the best growing conditions for the vines. The Saint-Esprit's deep colour has a dark, plum-like hue. The nose is classic syrah, with berry fruit, violet and licorice. It has a full, rounded palate with delicate tannins, making it a unique wine in the Côtes du Rhône appellation. The Côtes du Rhône Saint-Esprit pairs well with Provençale-style cuisine, stuffed tomatoes and eggplant, mixed grills and barbecue.
