Vinhuset skriver om denne specielle vin: 

LIMITED RELEASE
Philosophie is a brave endeavour in which we attempt to marry the mind, the heart and the soil as we celebrate the diversity of Vondeling.

A deep but vibrant, scarlet red colour. A wonderfully expressive and enthusiastic nose. Bursting with brightred cherry and high floral notes. Beautifully laced with sweet vanilla and subtle wood shavings. The palate is precise and bold with delightful tension. Ripe raspberry and cinnamon lead with underlyinglayers of trimmed cigar and fine tannin.

Vinhuset skriver følgende om denne specielle vin: The Bowwood motto is to produce singular, sight-specific wines that exemplify not only the best examples of their type in South Africa but of  those of the world. Special attention is given to how the wine will mature over time and we highly recommend additional cellaring to release the wine’s full potential.

Light dances through this wine’s bright, gold leaf colour. It captures, bends and reflects with the same hypnotic rhythm as a fresh mountain stream in the late light of summer. A cerebral experience, the wine is initially timid on the nose, but soon explodes kaleidoscopically in the back of the brain. Delicate apricot, yellow pear and cut straw aromas are fabulously supported by denser greengage, crushed cumin, raw almond and wild celery. The palate is luxurious and full, with a chalky dryness and vast savoury spectrum. Its mineral freshness showcases honeyed tangerine, roasted corn, ripe quince and sweet cashew. Savoury notes include freshly minced bay leaf and fine ground nutmeg.

Food Pairing: We recommend this wine be paired with nut crusted swordfish and saffron infused risotto or crispy, shredded duck on spring onion pancakes with tomato salsa.

Vinmageren skriver: The wine displays a pale straw colour typical of bubbly that has enjoyed the benefits of extended lees maturation. Tiny, pearl-string bubbles and fine mousse abound.  Beautiful aromas of lavender honey, lime, crisp apple with freshly baked pastry and toasted almonds on the nose. The palate is bright and zippy with vibrant acidity and a soft, creamy mouthfeel. Fresh apple appears again along with pears, confected lemon and a long, rich, lingering after taste.

Food Pairing: Rurale can be paired with smoked salmon, fennel roasted trout or fresh oysters with a squeeze of lemon, salt, and pepper

100% Muscat d’Frontignan.

Vinmageren skriver: The wine displays a golden to light amber colour. It has a perfumed nose ofbright pineapple, ripe apricot, honeyed marmalade and seductive rose petal. These heady aromas are supported by orange blossom, jasmine and wild rosemary. The nose carries through to the taste, where the mouth-watering sweetness is cut by a tangy acidity, which ensures a persistent and refreshing finish.

Food Pairing: This is a naturally fermented and unfortified wine, and allows for many delightful treats, which may incl. savoury duck liver pate, sweet spice-laced puddings and traditional soft cheeses.

Serve chilled and don’t wait for dessert.
