KWV Classic Collection Pinotage 2010

Description: This KWV Classic Collection Pinotage 2010 pours a light red colour, initially looking weak, but has the full aroma of raspberry and plum.

Lions Gate Cabernet Sauvignon Shiraz 2012

Description: Lions Gate Cabernet Sauvignon Shiraz 2012 pours a deep ruby red, and has the aroma of blackberries and mertles along with wood spices.

Cambalala Fairtrade Pinotage 2012

Description: Deep ruby in colour, this has a clear aroma of redberries. Very sweet to the first taste, it is smooth due to its lack of complexity, but is consistent throughout, mixing a taste of earthy mulberry and dark fruits.

Savanna Dry Premium Cider

Description: Very light in colour, with just a hint of foam, this could almost be called a still cider. It has a consistent apples taste with floral peach overtones which gives a very sweet taste although the finish is dry. Rather too bland to drink on its own, given the crowded market it is in, […]
