SOUTH AFRICAS

FINEST AUCTION

WINES

Great wines play a critical role in the overall dining experience. We have secured a limited selection of South Africa’s finest and rarest wines from two of the most prestigious wine auctions and we invite you to discover these rare gems with us.

Under each wine there will be a rating from our group Sommelier Miguel Chan (MC) to guide you in your choices. Enjoy.

The Nedbank Cape Winemakers Guild (CWG) Auction was established in 1982 with the main aim being to innovate, benchmark and share knowledge in winemaking excellence. Limited edition bottlings are made exclusively for each year’s auction by members of the Guild with production rarely exceeding 600 bottles. Most of the wines represent some of the finest examples of their kind in the world garnering exceptionally high scores from leading Sommeliers and International wine publications

The Nederburg Auction was founded in 1975, inspired by two leading European wine auctions: Kloster Eberbach in Germany and Hospices de Beaune in France. South Africa’s first Noble Late Harvest, Edelkeur was launched at this inaugural event.

Today it is recognized as one of the world’s major wine auctions, offering many finely-matured wines direct from library collections.

ALL ABOUT WINE

ABINGDON WINE

ESTATE

10

Whilst the Cape is heralded as producing the finest wines in south Africa, we are enormously proud of the endeavours of a special boutique Estate on our doorstep. A winelist in Kwa-Zulu Natal would not be complete without Abingdon Wine Estate .

The Estate is located in the picturesque Midlands, and has positioned itself as a serious single vineyard boutique wine producer in the geographical unit of Kwa-Zulu Natal. The farm was bought in 2000 by owners and winemakers Ian and Jane Smorthwaite, and the first vines were planted in 2004. At 1118m above sealevel, Abingdon’s wines are unofficially the highest altitude certified single vineyard estate wines in the country and the only certified single vineyards in the entire Kwa-Zulu Natal region.

The cultivars planted range from Cabernet Sauvignon, Syrah, Sauvignon Blanc, Viognier to Chardonnay. The soils are Clovelly and Griffon and offer good drainage, which is most welcome, especially when rain shows itself in summer. The wines reflect the cool slopes upon which the cultivars are planted and the flavour nuances lean to the Old World. The uniqueness of this terroir can be tasted in the glass - crisp, fresh, elegant, with a keen minerality.

Abingdon Blanc de Noir 2014 R290Region: Lions River - KZNMade from 50% Cabernet Sauvignon and 50% Syrah grapes. A refreshingly dry summer wine, but with a lively acidity, full of red and black fruits.

Abingdon Chardonnay 2014 R290 Region: Lions River - KZN A delicate and lightly oaked Chardonnay with peaches and cream on the nose, followed by crisp citrus fruits on the palate.

Abingdon Viognier 2014 R325Region: Lions River - KZN A typical cool climate and youthful Viognier with a perfumed floral nose of violets and an intense apricot and white peach character on the palate. Bitter walnuts, candied orange peel and spicy ginger on the finish.

Abingdon Syrah 2014 R350Region: Lions River - KZN An excellent acidic backbone, delicate and light in colour. Plum, black cherry and minerality are followed by white pepper and sweet spice. Light in body with a lovely savoury finish.

CHAMPAGNE AND MCC

CHAMPAGNE Champagne can only be produced within the region of Champagne, France. The primary grapes used in the production of Champagne are Pinot Noir, Chardonnay and Pinot Meunier. The appellation laws allow only grapes grown according to these rules and in specific areas to carry the name Champagne.

Celebrate with Champagne - At the Beverly Hills we love a celebration! Whether it’s a birthday, an anniversary, a promotion,or a get-together with friends and family there is always a reason to celebrate.

“I only drink Champagne when I’m happy, and when I’m sad. Sometimes I drink it when I’m alone. When I have company,I consider it obligatory. I trifle with it if I am not hungry and drink it when I am. Otherwise I never touch it - unless I’m thirsty.” - Lily Bollinger

CAPCLASSIQUE

CAP CLASSIQUEBOTTLE FERMENTED SPARKLERS

Whilst Champagne may be known as the most classic example of sparkling wine, in South African, we call it Cap Classique. In other countries it is also known as Espumante as in Portugal or Cava in Spain. Cap Classique follows the same method to that of Champagne and initiates a secondary fermentation in the bottle and it is by this defining process that sparkling wines are classified.

CHENIN BLANC

The most widely planted variety in South African, in the past originally known as Steen. Chenin Blanc may have been one of the first varietals to be planted by Jan van Riebeek in 1655. Other theories suggest it was first grown in 1685 when it was brought in by the French Huguenots fleeing France after the revocation of the Edict of Nantes. Today it forms the base for some outstanding white blends, plays solo as a single varietal, or makes excellent dessert wine. South African Chenins are gaining a big international reputation.

CABERNET SAUVIGNON

We feel that Cabernet Sauvignon is best expressed in the region of Stellenbosch. As one of the world’s most recognized grape varieties it is grown in almost every wine producing country in the world. Despite its prominence in the industry, the grape is a relatively new variety and developed by chance, crossing Cabernet Franc and Sauvignon Blanc in the late 17th Century. The Zulu people have been known to associate this variety with the Ndlovu (Elephant) due to the thickness of the grape skin.

per bottleWarwick First Lady 2014 R225Region: StellenboschThe nose reveals an abundance of red berries and sweet blackcurrants, complemented by sweet vanilla and chocolate oak background and pleasant herbal undertones. The smooth, ripe, round tannins make this wine easy to drink while still retaining a full body.

Glen Carlou 2014 R270Region: PaarlPrimary berry fruit aromas dominate whilst vibrant flavours of blackcurrants and plums are entwined with hints of soft spicy oak. This is a true reflection of Cabernet Sauvignon from the warmer Paarl region which has softer, riper tannins on the finish.

Glen Carlou Gravel Quarry R1010Region: PaarlSpicy, black cherry and plum with subtle anise and hints of dark chocolate. A rich and intense wine with soft and silky tannins.

MERLOT

This almost dark blue coloured wine grape, used as both a blending and single varietal offers amazing colour and fruit. It is one of the world’s most planted varieties with slightly larger berries. In South Africa it may be challenging to grow and produce but as a grape variety it offers approachability and fruit at all levels. per bottleFlagstone Poetry R145Region: CoastalThis warm rich ruby red wine shows great complexity on the nose. There is a mixture of dark red fruit, cigar box and mint aromas with well balanced wood. Sweet spicy undertones give this wine great depth.

Villiera R230Region: StellenboschA soft and voluptuous red wine with berry fruit and well supported by the use of oak. It is as charming as Merlot should be.

Meerlust Merlot 2013 R325Region: StellenboschThis Merlot reflects a deep red colour with hints of red berries and cocoa. On the nose flavours of chocolate,dark berries, pencil shavings, slight cigar box and vanilla, plums and blackberry are prominent.

PINOTAGE

Proudly South African and developed in 1925 by Abraham Izak Perold the first professor of viticulture at Stellenbosch University. The grape is a cross between Pinot Noir and Cinsaut (also known as Hermitage in South Africa at the time) As a single variety or blending component in what are locally known as “Cape Blends”, this variety is something exciting for the future of South African wines. per bottleBeyerskloof 2014 R185Region: StellenboschArguably South africa’s most popular pinotage. Strong plum flavours with velvet tannins. Elegant and soft with a superbly balanced finish. We recommend drinking young.

PINOTAGE

per bottleWarwick 2014 R350Region: StellenboschThe wine has a deep and intense garnet colour. The nose shows ripe cassis and smoky flavours that fuse with almond and chocolate aromas. The palate is full, round with ripe chewy tannins and flavours like coffee, cherry, cigar box and liquorice.

Flagstone Writers Block R540Region: HelderbergOn the palate the wine is ripe and generous with a core of blackberry, preserved plum and youngberry.These fruit characteristics are supported by subtle toasty oak, hints of white truffle, dark chocolate and thyme. A pure expression of this single vineyard.

PINOT NOIR

Whilst mostly associated with cooler regions this grape variety made famous in Burgundy, France is truly something special. It is one of the most difficult varieties to grow and produce. In South Africa only a very small percentage of wineries embark on this journey. per bottle

SHIRAZ - SYRAH

Whether you call it Shiraz or Syrah it’s up to you. Some classifications have tended to guide people by referring to Shiraz from the New World wine countries and Syrah the Old World but these are guidelines and more specific to styles. South Africa fits somewhere between these classifications due to the variety in our climate and environment.

per bottleRustenberg Buzzard Kloof 2013 R440Region: StellenboschSelected from the estate’s best Syrah block after which this wine is named. The aromatic profile starts off savoury and meaty and develops into spicier clove and cinnamon notes with floral (violet) notes adding lift.
