Long Product Description

A fresh, dry and intensely fruity varietal Sauvignon Blanc. Robertson Valley is situated further inland than most in South Africa, where the daytime climate is hot and dry, but the nights are cool. These growing conditions enhance the zesty gooseberry flavours so common in Sauvignon Blanc.

Commencing with an aromatic, vibrant and zing fruit rush which is then tempered by smooth peach notes derived by blending unwooded Chardonnay. A lovely floral bouquet leads to an easy drinking fruit driven and accessible white wine.

Ken Forrester Wines is to South African Chenin Blanc what Cloudy Bay is to New Zealand Sauvignon: widely regarded as the best. Ken started his career in the hotel industry. By 1993, he and his wife Teresa had achieved their dream of buying a historic vineyard in Stellenbosch, complete with a 17th-century Cape Dutch homestead. Teresa took on the task of restoring the house while Ken and top winemaker Martin Meinert set their sights on making the world's finest Chenins. Ken's wines have won hundreds of awards and been poured at prestigious events including the opening of the Scottish Parliament and Nelson Mandela's 85th birthday. Wonderfully rich and intense yet mouthwateringly fresh. Serve with grilled chicken, swordfish or roast pork.

Created by Kobus Burger at the Rietvallei Estate in the Robertson region, the Wild Rush rosé uses Cabernet from vineyards planted on the highest hill of the region called 'Klippiesdal' in rich limestone soil. This rosé wine is made by bleeding the juice off the Cabernet skins, a method that preserves delicate aromas and varietal character. It has attractive summer fruit flavours of strawberry and redcurrant and a crisp refreshing acidity.

Planted on ideal rich limestone soils, this is a typical aromatic dry Riesling, fragrant with pineapple, lemon and lime aromas. The crisp citrus character character follows through on the palate.

Capturing and creating a fresh lemony and zingy white, John B is the creation of the Burger family at Rietvallei in Robertson. The wine has a lovely floral bouquet with intense fruit flavours on the palate and a well balancing acidity makes for a zesty, long lasting aftertaste. A fresh fruit dry wine for every day enjoyment.

Douglas Green began his business with the purchase of the Forrer brother's Stukvat liquor business in Paarl's main road in 1938. Recognised as South Africa's first true negotiant wine producer, he bucked conventional wine trends and ignored regionalism in favour of quality and price. Traversing the Cape winelands seeking out first-rate vineyards and cellars, he sourced grapes and wine to blend in his top quality range of wines. It was not long before this progressive approach established Douglas Green wines amongst the most reliable quality and affordable wines in South Africa.
