DEHYDRATED GRAPEFRUIT (100G)
R90,00Garnish is used as a decoration but the idea is that it adds to the taste or flavour of your gin. The garnish needs to enhance or complement the signature botanicals in your gin. But generally garnish makes your Gin & Tonic look amazing.
Grapefruit garish are more contemporary and works with your dry gin. Ruby grapefruit looks so pretty with the red colour coming through the glass. You will love the bitterness of the grapefruit with a London Dry style gin.
DEHYDRATED LEMON (100G)
R85,00Garnish is used as a decoration but the idea is that it adds to the taste or flavour of your gin. The garnish needs to enhance or complement the signature botanicals in your gin. But generally garnish makes your Gin & Tonic look amazing.
Lemon/Lime – Since most gin is made with citrus and juniper, you are always safe with a citrus which not only looks fresh and colourful but also works well with most gins. Lime is stronger and a bolder flavour and I always love the fresh green look of a lime slice. But then lemon is a more delicate taste and is the more traditional G&T garnish.
Attention: *Subject to seasonal availability. While stocks last. *If you are looking to place a large order for dehydrated fruit, please contact us in advance to check on availability and current stock levels. This will help ensure we can meet your needs and avoid any disappointment due to limited quantities. NON-REFUNDABLE ITEM

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.
Palate: Juicy red fruit—plum and cherry—gives way to cedar-spice and a hint of mint; the texture is smooth and structured, with fine-grained tannins.
Finish: Long and refined, the wine closes with lingering red-berry flavours, soft oak spice, and a touch of herbal warmth.
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
- Tim Atkins: 92/100
- Michelangelo International Wine & Spirit Awards: Platinum (2020), Gold (2021)
- Platter's South African Wine Guide: 4.5 Stars
- Veritas Awards: Gold (2021)
TASTING NOTES:
Nose: Complex aromas of blackberry, black cherry, and plum layered with hints of cedar, vanilla, and sweet spice.
Palate: Rich and well-structured with concentrated dark fruit flavours. Fine-grained tannins support notes of mocha, toasted oak, and subtle earthy undertones.
Finish: Long, smooth, and elegant with lingering spice, dark chocolate nuances, and balanced acidity.
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
- Veritas Wine Awards: Consistent Double Gold medalist.
TASTING NOTES:
Nose: An intense and brooding bouquet. Immediate notes of black cherries, ripe plums, and wild mulberries are layered with sophisticated hints of oriental spice, vanilla, and a faint whisper of sweet tobacco.
Palate: Full-bodied and immensely concentrated. The palate is a tapestry of dark chocolate, bramble fruit, and savoury spice. The tannins are silky and well-integrated, providing a firm structure that suggests excellent ageing potential.
Finish: Exceptionally long and persistent. It leaves a lingering impression of toasty oak, roasted nuts, and a refreshing, clean mineral lift.

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.

Tasting Notes
Nose: A rich and inviting bouquet. Expect intense aromas of dark plums and black cherries, followed by sophisticated layers of cracked black pepper, savoury herbs, and a hint of sweet vanilla.
Palate: Full-bodied, concentrated, and incredibly smooth. The palate is a dense tapestry of blackberry jam and mulberry, supported by firm but velvety tannins. There is a beautiful core of toasty oak and clove.
Finish: A long and lingering finish. It leaves a savoury trail of baking spices, dark chocolate, and a final, aristocratic whisper of stony minerality.
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. With moderate yields (8 tons/ha in recent years) and solid oak ageing, it offers structural integrity and a drink window that appeals to both everyday enjoyment and cellar potential.REVIEWS/AWARDS
- Tim Atkin: 85/100
TASTING NOTES:
Nose: The bouquet opens with aromas of cassis and cloves, followed by subtle touches of dried herb and vanilla. With time in the glass, expect deeper dark‑berry and cherry tones, along with tobacco or cedar notes.
Palate: On the palate, elegant fruit of dark red and black berries, blueberries and cherries in some vintages, complemented by firm, well‑integrated tannins. The oak and fruit are balanced, making for a smooth but structured experience.
Finish: The finish is lingering, with dark fruit, spice and a clean mineral undertone that keeps the wine lively and rewarding. The tannins stay present but not overbearing, offering a pleasant grip.
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.
REVIEWS/AWARDS
- Top 100 SA Wines: Double Platinum

- Old Mutual Trophy Show: Silver
TASTING NOTES:
Nose: A decadent bouquet of ripe berries and juicy plums, with subtle notes of liquorice and cherry tobacco, giving the wine depth and character.

Finish: The finish is persistent and elegant, with lingering dark fruit, a hint of spice, and a refined oak-backed backbone.
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
- Tim Atkin MW: 91-93/100
- Platter’s Wine Guide: 4.5 Stars
- James Suckling: 92/100

DIEMERSFONTEIN HARLEQUIN
R105,00Why is it Special?
What makes the Harlequin special is its Seamless Versatility. It is designed to be the "Perfect Guest" at any occasion, from a formal dinner to a casual picnic. It is "Special" because it offers a Hybrid Profile—it gives you the dark fruit and subtle mocha hints of the famous Diemersfontein Pinotage, but adds the "savoury lift" and cracked black pepper notes of a premium Shiraz. It is a wine that refuses to be put in a box, offering a dynamic and engaging tasting experience for a remarkably accessible price.
Awards

DIEMERSFONTEIN PINOTAGE
R160,00WHY IS IT SPECIAL?
What sets Diemersfontein apart is its "accidental" genius. While Pinotage was historically maligned for being difficult, Diemersfontein leaned into the variety's ability to absorb specific oak characteristics, creating a style so distinct that it birthed a new category of South African wine. It is the "Original"—the first to prove that wine could be accessible, indulgent, and high-quality all at once.REVIEWS/AWARDS
- James Suckling: 88/100
- Wine Enthusiast: 91/100
- Michelangelo International Wine Awards: Double Gold
TASTING NOTES:
Nose: An immediate, heady aromatic burst of freshly brewed espresso and dark bitter chocolate. As it breathes, secondary notes of baked plums, a touch of cool mint, and toasted vanilla bean emerge.
Palate: Sumptuous and full-bodied. The "mocha" characters lead the way, supported by a lush core of black cherries and mulberries. The tannins are famously velvety and soft, providing a creamy mouthfeel that masks its robust alcohol.
Finish: Long, warming, and distinctly savoury. It leaves a lingering echo of roasted nuts and toasty oak, with a final hint of sweet spice.

DIEMERSFONTEIN SHIRAZ
R155,00Why is it Special?
What makes Diemersfontein Shiraz special is its "Wellington Warmth." The region’s specific climate allows for a ripeness that creates a Naturally Opulent Mouthfeel and a soft tannin structure. It is "Special" because it offers Aromatic Depth—giving you a complex bouquet of "baked earth," "cigar box," and "dark fruit" that feels incredibly indulgent. It is the go-to bottle for the wine lover who wants a Shiraz that is as warm and welcoming as a Wellington summer evening.
