The 2022 edition describes the Single Block Chenin 2020 as a “veritable feast of flavour”, with Platter’s taster Cathy Marston’s tasting notes revealing “lemon, peach, apricot, hints of honey & rosemary – ably supported by spicy oak. Almond notes show delightful development, set to continue with lengthy lime finish.”

This wine displays a pale straw colour with light catching brilliance. The nose is complex, exhibiting attractive aromas of passionfruit and pink grapefruit intermingled with hints of black currant and freshly toasted brioche. On the palate the wine enters full and rich, reminiscent of the aromas on the nose. It has amazing clarity and depth with a zesty persistence.

The 2021 Pinotage boasts an excellent deep colour, ripe berries and plums on the nose and palate with a good mouth-feel and lingering aftertaste. With 5 to 10 years’ maturation this wine will start to acquire the velvet density and luxurious chocolate and caramel flavours of its very early Lanzerac predecessors. A full-bodied, complex wine with a beautiful balance between fruit and wood showcasing a good tannin structure that will allow it to age extremely well.

More masculine in 2022 with abundant black and red cherry, cranberry and beetroot on the nose. The palate has velvety texture yet plenty of grip. The fresh acidity very well balanced with the weight of the wine. Flavours of ripe nectarine, ripe cherry and tart grapefruit on the finish.

Incredible vintage. Back to real cool climate conditions after the drought. This vintage has a perfect balance between intensity and purity. Strawberry and mushroom nose with some earthy notes. Tight and linear framework with a mineral core which is layered with red fruit.

A fresh, modern, New World style with a nod to the complexity of Burgundy. This Pinot Noir shows ripe, fresh Raspberry, Strawberry and Vanilla notes on the nose. The palate has a touch of minerality and earthiness layered below the fresh, clean fruit.

The 4 best barrels in the cellar were selected for this Cabernet Sauvignon (50%) and Merlot (50%) blend. Full-bodied, fruity wine with black pepper, nut and berry aromas on the nose. The tannins are well structured and in perfect harmony.
