Radford Dale Pinotage
$33.99
An organic estate in Elgin, around 40 miles southeast of Cape Town. Elgin is a very different climate to Stellenbosch, where the rest of their wines are made, a particularly critical factor for organic farming. ‘Our biggest challenge is mother nature. Living on a knife edge in a high-rainfall, cool climate region such as Elgin is not good for the nerves.’ says Alex Dale. ‘It would have been safer to farm organically in warmer areas, such as the Swartland or even Stellenbosch. But for the style of wines we like – more refined, fresh and balanced – Elgin is where we want to be, so the risks are far higher. The next biggest challenge is financial, as your production and your financial viability is constantly threatened by weather incidents, throughout the year. We also do a lot of work manually, especially in our high-density vines, so the tougher the conditions meteorologically, the more manual labour involved in the vineyards.’

While others followed established paths, Jeffrey chose experimentation and innovation, guided by that foundational principle: it starts with place. His unconventional approach meant questioning everything, from vineyard practices to the smallest details of winemaking. Today these wines are regarded as some of the finest examples of the riesling grape on the planet.
Moss Wood Amy's Cuvee Blanc
$36.54
Margaret River is one of the world's best producers of Semillon and the blend with Sauvignon Blanc is magical. The nose displays aromas of leafy, grassy Sauvignon Blanc, mixed with more generous notes of fig and honey from the Semillon. Underneath all this primary grape aroma is a distinct apricot note, which the winery puts down to just a touch of noble rot in the fruit, as well as some complexity from Semillon’s lanolin character. The palate is medium bodied and the fresh fruit emphasis is highlighted by crisp acidity and a soft finish. If you adore well-made white wine, this is for you!
Moss wood is a family-owned wine company and one of the pioneers for the Margaret River region. Their original plantings date back to 1969 with their first wines being made in 1973. Since then, Margaret River has definitely made a name for itself as a well-recognized region in Australia with the wine's popularity consistently increasing.
