Waterford Estate,
Drink now,
This is crafted from vineyard selections across six of the top sites in Elgin. Here, at slightly higher elevation, the cooler terroir is well-suited to Sauvignon Blanc production and delivers wines of precision and aromatic vibrancy.
Sweet nuances of pineapple and green apple mingle with lime zest and a saline character. If you can resist its drinkability and leave it in the glass, it will reveal more layers of flowers and exotic fruits sip after sip.
The perfect paring for green vegetables and goat cheese canapes, it will also match beautifully with sole fish and oysters.
Drink now to 2022

Craven,
Drink now,
Mick Craven started making Chenin Blanc in 2016, when he acquired the beautiful Polkadraai vineyard, planted in 1982. Textured and generous, energy comes from bright acidity and striking minerality. Craven’s signature is outlined in the wine’s precision and linearity, without compromising concentration. White peach, ginger and lightly waxy characters fill the mouth, while there’s a saline twist on the finish. Simply lip-smacking. Drink now to 2025.

Mullineux & Leeu Family Wines,
Ready, but will improve,
The Old Vines White is a field blend of Chenin Blanc (70%) with small quantities of Clairette Blanc, Grenache Blanc, Viognier and Sémillon Gris. Gorgeously perfumed and concentrated, this wine will seduce with its multi-layered complexity. Ample and floral on the nose, the palate is textured and filling, offering exotic fruit, lime and hints of spice. Notes of grilled pine nuts and rosemary linger in the background, with a persistent mineral vitality. This is a wine with great personality, that will impress and surprise at every sip. Drink now to 2025.
