Franschhoek Cellar

Lynx

Shiraz 2018

Dark & rich on the nose with blackberry jam, cassis, raw beef, black olives and tobacco leaf. And a refreshing menthol - allspice - cloves whiff.
Very smooth on the palate, with surprising lightness and impressive balance & poise. Rich, without the weight, the tannins mellow, the acidity fresh. Velvety towards the long finish with a spicy aftertaste.
Seductive and very pleasing, def. more New World rather than Rhône.
Simply delicious with a good rib eye!

Môreson

Mercator Premium Chardonnay 2013

At first taste, a little non-descript. But this wine reveals it's subtle excellence over time. Balanced acid, round melon flavors, and yet perfect with food. My second surprisingly good S. African Chard. — 8 years ago

Cabernet Franc 2015

17/20 (92/100) Приятный, насыщенный аромат, в котором преобладают тона спелых чёрных ягод, шоколада и зеленого перца. Довольно тельное с высокой кислотностью и интенсивными, сухими, но не грубыми, бархатистыми по текстуре танинами. Ягодно-шоколадное во вкусе с продолжительным послевкусием. Один из, если не самый лучший каберне фран из Франшхука. — 7 years ago

Topiary Wines

Topiary Wines Chardonnay 2017

A lovely and almost discrete Chardonnay. Made by Chassagne-Montrachet producer Philippe Colin, it is surprisingly reticent and very well balanced. Lemon, green apple and nectarine on the nose it has very well balanced acidity in the mouth with just a hint of oak to give it depth. A lovely wine. — 5 years ago
