Koetshuis Sauvignon Blanc 2017
R 150.00
The crisp, grassy De Grendel Koetshuis Sauvignon Blanc was so named because the grapes used to make this wine are grown in the vineyard that sprawls out right next to the old coach house (‘koetshuis’ in Afrikaans) where the wagons of days gone by were once kept.
These grapes are blended with grapes from Darling to create the very fresh wine, with capsicum, asparagus and gooseberry flavours that was...

Sauvignon Blanc 2017
R 95.00
The Sauvignon Blanc is more tropical and fruit-driven than the Koetshuis. It’s made from grapes grown in a vineyard which benefits from the cooling effect of gentle maritime breezes from the nearby ocean where the cold Benguela current runs northwards up the coast.
Pale straw in colour, with youthful lime green flashes around the edges, you will notice aromas of grapefruit and other tropical fruits like guava and granadilla...

Sauvignon Blanc Noble Late Harvest 2015 (375ml)
R 130.00
Beautiful citrine gold in the glass with rich aromas of ripe yellow-fleshed peaches and spiced apricots, our De Grendel Sauvignon Blanc Late Harvest has a soft palate of fruit, fynbos and honey with flavours of golden sultanas.
We make it by leaving specially selected Sauvignon Blanc grapes to hang on the vines and become naturally infected with Botrytis Cinerea, the fungus responsible for noble rot. The fungus penetrates...

Rosé 2017
R 65.00
This beautifully striking wine, which resembles the ‘eye of the partridge’ in colour, combines coppery pink hues with a deeper reddish blush. Exceptionally floral and perfumed on the nose with enticingly sweet nuances of lemon and lime carried out of the glass by wafts of Turkish delight and candy floss.
The sweet delight on the nose precedes a dry entry that bursts into juicy strawberry preserve layered with hints...

OBEX Cider (24 x 340ml)

Fresh apples were crushed with only the ‘free run’ juice being fermented to produce this unique craft cider. Many different apple varietals were experimented with before a ‘super secret’ blend was decided on to produce a fresher, lighter style of hand crafted cider for our thirsty climate, that does not compromise on crisp apple flavour.
Consistency of quality and flavour in every batch, which we passionately strive for, is achieved by a commitment to the...
