Bush Vine Pinotage False Bay South Africa
Fresh, plummy aromas with savoury, smoky notes. The palate is ripe and rich with vibrant fruit, slightly rustic yet moreish tannins and a persistent finish. Perfect with pork belly dishes or barbecued meats, boerwurst, game or good, old fashioned sausage and mash.Suitable for vegans.Suitable for vegetarians.The grapes for False Bay Bush Vine Pinotage stem from a single vineyard of unirrigated bush vines in Stellenbosch. The attraction to this mature (planted in 1996), coastal, bush vine vineyard were the cooler temperatures and small, naturally balanced and concentrated berries. Made by Waterkloof's talented young Cellarmaster Nadia Barnard. Balanced grapes are hand harvested, fermented spontaneously with wild yeast and then raised in large wooden casks (or 'foudre' en Francais). The resulting wine therefore, is perhaps more 'Pino' than 'Tage'. No additions other than sulphur as a preservative. Grown, made and bottled in South Africa. False Bay - Real Wine, Coastal Vineyards, Sustainably Farmed, Hand Picked, Naturally Crafted, Wild Ferment, Cask Aged.

Quinta do Retiro Novo 2011 Wiese & Krohn Port
A rich, dark Port, packed full of pure bramble fruit, very concentrated with well-integrated tannins and surprisingly good balancing acidity. An unfiltered Port, so decant, and serve with well-matured blue cheese.Suitable for vegansSuitable for vegetariansWiese & Krohn's estate Quinta do Retiro Novo is located in Sarzedinho, a small village in the Rio Torto valley. Quality is determined by the grape varieties, by the age of the vines, their method of training and the density of planting. All these factors are officially converted into points, the sum of which determines the final classification of the property. Here, this sum exceeds 1200 points, ensuring it belongs to a select group of "Class A" properties. Vintage 2011 was so widely declared because of the exceptional weather conditions which differed quite dramatically from the rest of Europe. A wet Autumn in 2010 left subsoils nicely damp and able to cope with the near drought conditions that ensued in the first half of 2011, then a cool summer helped to maintain freshness and avoid any overly dry, raisiny characteristics. Some welcome splashes of rain at the end of August and early September helped to ripen tannins (and bring them back in line with sugar levels) then the dry days and cool nights that followed provided perfect picking conditions. The result is a superb single Quinta Port from the excellent and early drinking 2011 vintage.
