CREATION PINOT NOIR
R285,00WHY IS IT SPECIAL?
Creation Pinot Noir stands out as a benchmark for South African cool‑climate Pinot — a wine that respects the subtlety and elegance of the grape rather than forcing fruit bombs. The estate’s commitment to terroir, modest yields, native‑yeast fermentation and restrained oak use yields a Pinot that’s refined, terroir‑driven, and versatile. For collectors, it offers a balanced mix of red‑fruited purity, savoury earthiness, mineral freshness and age‑worthy structure — all at a price point that remains remarkably accessible for a wine of this calibre.REVIEWS/AWARDS
- Tom Cannavan: 91/100
- Wine Enthusiast: 90/100
- Vinum Wine Magazine: 16/20
TASTING NOTES:
Nose: Medium-bodied and elegant, the palate delivers juicy red fruit (soft cherry, raspberry), with supple tannins, fresh acidity and a gentle earthy/mineral backbone. There can be subtle mushroom‑earthiness or herb‑leaf nuance, adding complexity and sophistication — not just fruit sweetness.
Palate: Clean, balanced and lingering — red‑fruit echoes, a soft savoury note, and refreshing acidity that leaves the palate alive and craving another sip. The balance means it’s enjoyable now but also worthy of short‑term ageing (3–5 years).
Finish: A long, lingering, and harmonious, with persistent notes of dark fruit, graphite, and subtle spice, leaving an impression of elegance, complexity, and age-worthiness — the hallmark of a collectable Opus One
CREATION VIOGNIER
R170,00WHY IS IT SPECIAL?
Creation Viognier is special because it marries cool‑climate finesse with aromatic richness.

For collectors, it offers a sense of place, varietal purity, and balanced structure — a Viognier that rewards both drinking now and short-term cellaring.TASTING NOTES:
Nose: Fragrant white peach and apricot with touches of ripe pear and an undercurrent of warm stone and minerality.
Palate: Soft and textured, delivering peach, apricot, and more pear, complemented by zesty natural acidity and a mineral backbone.

DE GRENDEL SHIRAZ
R235,00Why is it Special?
What makes De Grendel Shiraz special is its "Graveyard of the Atlantic" Terroir. The proximity to the ocean ensures a slow ripening process, which traps the Delicate Volatile Compounds—like white pepper and floral lavender—that are often lost in hotter regions. It is "Special" because it offers Coastal Sophistication—giving you a refined, linear tannin structure and a "salty" mineral undertone that is the hallmark of the estate. It is the go-to bottle for the connoisseur who values "freshness" and "lift" in their red wines.

Tasting Notes
Nose: A vibrant and highly perfumed bouquet. Expect immediate notes of ripe mulberries and black cherries, followed by sophisticated layers of cracked black pepper, violets, and a delicate aniseed spice.
Palate: Medium-to-full-bodied, sleek, and incredibly balanced. The palate is a refined tapestry of dark fruit and plum, supported by fine-grained, linear tannins. There is a beautiful core of savoury spice and toasty oak.
Finish: A long, clean, and savoury finish. It leaves a lingering trail of baking spices, clove, and a final, aristocratic whisper of stony minerality.
DE KRANS CAPE RUBY PORT
R119,00WHY IS IT SPECIAL?
De Krans Cape Ruby stands out for its balance of fruit-forward intensity and structure. While many fortified wines lean heavily into sweetness, this Ruby is elegantly crafted to maintain vibrant fruit character—thanks to Calitzdorp’s warm climate and old Portuguese varietals—and enough oak ageing to add complexity without overshadowing the wine’s liveliness.REVIEWS/AWARDS
- Platter’s Wine Guide: 4/5
TASTING NOTES:
Nose: Aromas of ripe red and blue berries (think cherries and blueberries), with delicate violet florals and a hint of cinnamon spice.
Palate: Rich and juicy, delivering cherry and plum fruit complemented by notes of chocolate and warming spice.
Finish: Soft, smooth, and slightly spiced, with a lingering berry sweetness and velvety tannins.
DE KRANS CAPE VINTAGE PORT
R159,00WHY IS IT SPECIAL?
De Krans Cape Vintage Reserve is special because it brings together old-school port tradition and Cape terroir, delivering a darker, more structured style of port that is firmly built for long-term ageing. According to De Krans, this port is “more intense, full-bodied, structured, drier in style and darker in colour” than their Ruby-style ports. Its bold fruit, ageing potential (up to 20 years per De Krans), and firm tannins make it a collector’s favourite.REVIEWS/AWARDS

DE MORGENZON SYRAH
R155,00Why is it Special?
What makes DeMorgenzon special is its "Musical Terroir." Beyond the Baroque influence, the weathered granite soils provide a Natural Exuberance and high acidity that keeps the wine fresh and "bright" even in warmer vintages. It is "Special" because it captures the "Floral Side" of Syrah—shifting the focus from heavy dark fruit toward a bouquet of lavender, violets, and white pepper. It is a "Connoisseur’s Darling," frequently cited by critics for its precision and its ability to bridge the gap between Northern Rhône elegance and South African fruit intensity.

DIEMERSDAL MERLOT
R150,00WHY IS IT SPECIAL?
What makes Diemersdal Merlot so compelling for collectors and connoisseurs is its cool-climate Durbanville terroir, which delivers purity of red fruit, refined acidity, and a lifted, coastal freshness. When married with careful oak maturation, the wine gains layer and sophistication, reflecting Diemersdal’s six-generation winemaking heritage and commitment to elegance and balance.REVIEWS/AWARDS
- Tin Atkins: 95/100 (2021 Vintage)
- Platter's Guide: 5 Stars (2024)
- Concours Mondial de Bruxelles: Silver (2023)
TASTING NOTES:
Nose: Ripe blackberries and dried plum mingle with spicy cedarwood, mint and subtle dried-herb notes.

DIEMERSDAL PINOTAGE
R150,00WHY IS IT SPECIAL?
Durbanville’s maritime climate allows for slower ripening, preserving freshness while developing complex fruit concentration. Diemersdal has been family-owned since 1698, combining tradition with modern precision winemaking. Carefully selected French oak barrels enhance structure and add layers of spice without overpowering the fruit. This Pinotage can mature gracefully for 5–10 years, developing additional complexity over time.REVIEWS/AWARDS

DIEMERSDAL RESERVE PINOTAGE
R230,00WHY IS IT SPECIAL?
What sets the Diemersdal Reserve apart is its "Cool-Climate Power." Most high-intensity Pinotages come from the heat of the interior, but this wine achieves its concentration through Old Bush Vines and the cooling influence of the Atlantic Ocean. It is "Special" because it offers a "Savoury Precision"—it has the weight of a traditional Pinotage but the aromatic complexity and "crunchy" fruit profile of a cool-climate red. It is widely considered one of the most refined and age-worthy Pinotages in South Africa.REVIEWS/AWARDS
- Tim Atkin MW: 93/100
- Platter’s Wine Guide: 4.5 - 5 Stars

DIEMERSDAL SHIRAZ
R150,00Why is it Special?
What makes Diemersdal Shiraz special is its "Dry-Land Purity." The vineyards are not irrigated, forcing the vines to dig deep into the cool clay subsoil. This results in smaller, more concentrated berries that impart a specific Mineral Tension and a fine-grained tannin structure. It is "Special" because it offers Exceptional Pedigree at an Accessible Price—giving you the "cigar box" and "clove" complexity of a boutique estate wine in a format that is incredibly drinkable and rewarding. It is the go-to bottle for those who want a Shiraz that is as intellectual as it is delicious.

DIEMERSFONTEIN CABERNET SAUVIGNON
R160,00WHY IS IT SPECIAL?
This Cabernet Sauvignon stands out for its combination of varietal purity, approachable price point and the Wellington terroir’s cooling influences.

- Tim Atkin: 85/100

DIEMERSFONTEIN CARPE DIEM RANGE MALBEC
R290,00WHY IS IT SPECIAL?
- The Carpe Diem range reflects the founders’ bold spirit — “seizing the day” — and this Malbec Reserve is a prime example of that ambition.
- Wellington’s terroir (cooler mountain-influenced climate and well-drained soils) helps preserve Malbec’s fresh fruit character while enabling good phenolic maturity.
- With 14 months of oak, the wine achieves a fine balance of fruit richness and structural elegance, making it a compelling option for both early drinking and moderate cellar ageing.

DIEMERSFONTEIN CARPE DIEM RANGE PINOTAGE
R290,00WHY IS IT SPECIAL?
What makes the Carpe Diem special is its "Reserve Status." Only the finest barrels from the best vintages are selected for this label. It is "Special" because it bridges the gap between the modern "coffee style" and the "traditional estate style." It offers the hedonistic pleasure Diemersfontein is known for, but packages it within a sophisticated, age-worthy frame that earns respect from the most traditionalist of critics. It is the "Seize the Day" bottle that defines luxury Pinotage.REVIEWS/AWARDS

DIEMERSFONTEIN PINOTAGE
R160,00WHY IS IT SPECIAL?
What sets Diemersfontein apart is its "accidental" genius.
