DeMorgenzon - Reserve Chenin Blanc 2014 Magnum (1 x 1.5L)
This show stopping white displays effusive aromas of white flower, stone fruit, honey, and toast which erupt into opulent flavours of pear, orange blossom, caramel and spice. It’s a world class wine offering that strikes a brilliant balance between lush fruit and crisp, mouth-watering acidity.

DeMorgenzon - Reserve Syrah 2017 Magnum (1 x 1.5L)
Deep, purple core. Rich, berry fruit nose with lots of ripe, red plum and whiffs of white pepper. Some floral notes in the background, including violets, lavender and spring blossoms. Full in the mouth with tremendous youthful vigour. Layers of berry fruit with developing spices of pepper, cinnamon, clove, and vanilla. Gentle oak integration shows and supports the elegance and roundness at this early age.

Ernie Els - Signature Magnum 2017 (1 x 1.5L)
With auspicious beginnings as our maiden vintage in 2000, this iconic Bordeaux-style blend is comprised of the classic cultivars: Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Cabernet Franc, Malbec and Petit Verdot. All grapes are exclusively grown on the property, benefiting from the soil-rich, north-facing Helderberg slopes worthy of the prominent Stellenbosch appellation. Each variety is separately managed to contribute unique and varied flavour profiles to the consummate blend. Ample structure and depth allow this wine to age effortlessly for a decade or more.
Dark at the core with a crimson rim, it is full-bodied, elegantly endowed and finely poised. The new oak is well integrated into a richly-concentrated palate, framed by dry, yet soft tannins with complex aromas and flavours. There is ample structure and depth for this wine to age effortlessly for a decade or more.
