| Cape Point Winery Cape Point is one of the very best wineries in all South Africa. It lies due South of Cape Town on the Cape of Good Hope, high up on Chapman's Peak, bordering Noordhoek. The origins of grape cultivation can be traced back to the 1700s but it's only since 1996 when owner Sybrand Van de Spuy replanted the vineyard that the area received recognition and in 1998 it got it's own official status of Cape Point Wine of Origin. The vineyards lie between the cool Atlantic and the warmer False Bay creating a unique microclimate producing truly world class wines. As you can see from the photo, this really is a tiny operation producing top quality wines in severely limited numbers!It's now John Platter's most awarded winery in South Africa with a remarkable 10 five star awards in the last five years. It was also South African Winery of the Year in 2008, and won Decanter's Best Worldwide Sauvignon Blanc in 2007. They make exquisite, world class wines in tiny quantities. We consider ourselves extremely fortunate to be able to list some for sale. Cape Point Website |

| Jean Daneel Jean Daneel has been making top class wines in South Africa since 1983 when he was winemaker for Buitenverwachting where he began winning awards. In 1992 he moved onto Morgenhof for several years where he also picked up the trophy for best Chenin Blanc in 1997. He then set up his own small winery in Franschoek. In 2004 he moved further south out of the recognised wine producing regions to Napier close to Cape Agulhas, the continent's most southerly point. Here he built a small winery and planted his own small vineyard. In 2003 he won Wine Magazine's Chenin of the year and went from strength to strength being awarded 5 stars by John Platter in 2005, followed by a consistent string of awards and acknowledgements. But it's not just his Chenin that he's famous for, he also makes some sensational red blends too. Jean operates the winery himself with his son, Jean Pierre, and makes his wines in tiny quantities. They are very good indeed and we consider ourselves fortunate to be able to offer some for sale. |

| Strandveld Winery Strandveld is the most southerly vineyard in Africa, about 9kms from Cape Agulhas. The region has been awarded it's own state of origin 'Elim' and is ideally suited to producing top class wines. This region will see great success in the coming years. Strandveld is a new venture set up by a group of wine loving friends, who in 2001 decided they wanted to make their own wine. You can read their story at their website. Their wines are very good, particularly their signature white the Adamastor! |

| Zevenwacht As all our regular customers know, we personally select every wine on this site on it's own merits, we don't simply list every wine from each producer. Very occassionally we happen across an outstanding winery where virtually every wine they produce is something special, and that's what has happened here with Zevenwacht. We're very fortunate to have formed a good relationship with Denise and have the opportunity to exclusively offer our customers some of their very limited production top end wines. I urge you to give them a try, they're fantastic.Zevenwacht, owned and run by Denise & Harold Johnson, is an independent estate of 500 hectares with 200 hectares under vine, mostly noble varieties. Their winemaker, Jacques Viljoen, takes a bold approach to winemaking, using modern technology as well as traditional cellaring techniques to produce elegant premium wines. We're now having some of their top wines shipped over, due in mid October including their extremely limited Bordeaux blend the 'Z'.The estate comprises as well as the winery, of a cheese factory, a chef school, top restaurant with banquetting and conferencing facilities, as well as an inn and guest cottages, and is a fully licensed wedding venue all set in stunning surroundings! On top of all this they make fantastic wines too!Please note - we're awaiting stocks of these new wines from South Africa. Due in mid October. |
