Survivor Pinotage Reserve
This world-class wine has a lively dense deep red colour with a nose of blackberry fruit pastilles, freshly picked ripe cherries and notes of spicy vanilla derived from the use of exceptional quality oak barrels. Upon entrance the palate embraces the qualities of what this wine has to offer. Full bodied and structured to last, the palate enfolds these flavours into a synced orchestra that keeps on changing with every mouthful.
Survivor Sauvignon Blanc
The 2022 vintage is a pure expression of the Elgin terroir and shows notes of freshly crushed gooseberry, white blossom, elderflÂower and red grapefruit on the nose, while the palate supports the aromas with fresh grapefruit and subtle hints of nectarine and tropical fruits. A mouth-watering, rounded acidity accompanies a full and long finish on the palate.
Survivor Syrah
This intense dark coloured wine has a pungent rich nose of liquorice and black fruits with nuances of cloves, thyme and white pepper. With the aromas being so expressive, one would expect a bold palate, but on the contrary. Being full-bodied and well-structured these aromas are tamed and lay to rest on a layered palate that has a lot to give. With a long and lingering finish, this wine will ask questions of why you haven’t purchased more.
The Back Roads Petite Sirah
This is a big meaty wine, made for dark winters nights and romantic fireplaces.
A deep purple in colour makes cleaning the bottling equipment a real bitch. Often used in blends to give more colour and depth.
Its French name for this grape is Durif. Americans have long referred to it as Petite Sirah, which is strange as it is anything but Petite and the Sirah is spelt incorrectly.
For people who like biog bold wines with plenty of body and oomph.
The Bridge Cabernet Sauvignon
The Crossover Pinotage
This Pinotage shows real finesse with hints of dark fruit and oak on the nose, a velvety palate and well-integrated tannins.

The Dar k Side of the Vine Semillion
This vine was born in 1905. It has seen it all, the Good, the Bad and the Ugly.
Through droughts, floods and conflict it has stuck to its task of producing great grapes to make great wine. Years of production have taught it when to up production and when to hold back.
We think Semillion is a red grape dressed up in white wine clothing, it even produces a handful of red grapes on each vine, and should be treated as such. This is not a wine for quaffing and wasting on your closest 100 friends. No this is for small groups of like minded people with an unbridled passion for wine.
The Fox & The Flamingo Rosé
The Pilgrimage Semillon
The Power of Love – Chenin Blanc
This is our second vintage of The Power of Love Chenin Blanc and sees a change of origin from Simonsberg to Swartland. It’s vibrant, full-bodied and fruit-forward with refreshing flavours of guava, pineapple, yellow peach and winter melon. The palate zings with flavours of citrus, white pear, quince and lingering blood orange.
