The Secretary Bird, a name deriving from it’s quill like feathers, is a familiar site in the open grasslands of the Western Cape and one of South Africa’s most treasured national birds. While we have taken care in preparing this summary and believe it to be accurate, it is not a substitute for reading the product packaging and label prior to use. A bewildering drop that parades all the style characteristics of a Pinot Noir - but what an utterly rewarding confusion it is!

Palate: Ripe, juicy pineapple, soft coconut flesh, vanilla, cinnamon and spicy gingerbread, with a silky mouthfeel and the smoothness of aged rum. Not as dry as some of the bone dry South African Sauvignon blanc (still a dry 1 )but a lovely wine none the less. Grown from vines in the Western Cape, this is a bright, juicy Rosé showing red berry fruit flavours and a refreshing finish.

Grown from vines in the Western Cape, this merlot strikes a balance between red berry fruit and a long chocolaty finish. Hot summers and cool wet winters provided the best soil conditions for growing top quality grapes destined for the wine bottle rather than the fruit bowl.You should also note that the picture images show only our serving suggestions of how to prepare your food - all table accessories and additional items and/or ingredients pictured with the product you are purchasing are not included. The long finish and concentrated cranberry theme will force you to keep on looking back at the label to remind yourself that this is actually a venerable old Cinsault! The wine must express where it comes from, you must be able to taste the soil, the quality of the grapes and lastly, hopefully, something from me as the winemaker - you will end up with a wine destined for greatness. Our close relationship with the winery lets us craft exclusive wines to bring a welcome point of difference in a very congested market.

Handpicked grapes, from the foothills of regions east of the Andes, are perfectly ripened, giving the wine.
