Secateurs Swartlandse Shiraz Blend 2018

Barnyard wafts!

Deliciously light for the varietals, ripe seeded berries, tarragon, Thai basil.
Citrus acidity, and feathery tannins.
Really quite enjoyable, never been disappointed by this winery, and every vintage gets better reflection .

Die Ouwingerdreeks Skerpioen Chenin Blanc Palomino 2021

One of my all time favourites.

Last one of 2021 left in the collection. Fell in love with this wine in 2022 during a dinner at La Colombe. Great characterful wine from the west coast. You can taste it’s origin in the briny/kelp like taste with a bit of stone fruit, chamomille/jasmine and a touch of fennel/anise. Always a bit lower on the alcoho and acidityl, which makes it a great early drinker. Can’t wait to try the 2024 with 99 points.
