“We believe that beautiful wines come from day to day thoughtful management in the vineyards.

The Matriarch Cap Classique 2022

Rich, full, and luxurious on the palate, reminiscent of the fire in that kitchen’s big hearth. This wine’s sparkle bubbles brighter next to a fresh, buttery croissant, topped with lightly smoked salmon, or perfectly poached Eggs Benedict.

The Grande Matriarch 2020

Complex and beautifully awe-inspiring, like a light breeze carrying the floral perfume across the table. Aromas of fresh, ruby-red fruit show off this Pinot Noir bubbly’s vivacious nature. The perfect partner to a cherry clafoutis topped with silky whipped cream.

Sauvignon Blanc 2024

Walking through a tropical fruit forest on a summer’s day, a wave of zesty lemon, guava and fresh green figs ripples through your senses, while grapefruit leaves a sprinkling of tang on your tongue. Like holding hands, the lingering flavours of dried apples and freshly crushed lavender leaves, are closely entwined. This versatile wine pairs perfectly with a variety of dishes, our personal favourite being Greek-style squid marinated in lemon, garlic and olive oil, served alongside a crisp green salad and warm pita bread for dipping in the sauces. Whether enjoyed in solitary or with good friends, this wine is sure to over deliver.

Wild Child 2021

This oaked Sauvignon Blanc plays with a fun montage of white peach and dehydrated strawberry flavours, ending with blackcurrant lingering on the finish. Floral aromas entice your senses. Each sip awakens a hint of toasted tobacco leaves, making it the perfect pairing to a Thai Green Curry or Moroccan spiced risotto.

Semillon 2024

Bursting with a delicious, creamy richness and fresh, zesty flavours that transport you to a warm and cozy place of pure comfort and contentment. The perfect partner to a fresh ceviche served on sunflower shoots with orange and grapefruit segments.

Riesling 2021

Earthy, herbaceous and ­filled with personality. Cape Jasmine, dried apricot and honeysuckle linger as you lazy away in front of a cosy fireplace. This Riesling’s aromatic subtlety, racy acidity and gracious aging potential, makes this a stand-out varietal that truly reflects the Nitida terroir.

Coronata Integration 2023

The aroma of white peach blossoms brings about a sense of freshness and delight. Beeswax and lemon spark excitement on your palate. This full, luxurious wine can stand alone, but would compliment a panfried West Coast Sole and seasonal greens.

Cabernet Sauvignon 2020

This vintage aromatic spices, salted caramel, red fruits and tobacco, makes for an opulent combination of flavours. Having spent around 18 months in older oak barrels, the wine has ripe tannins, a firm and luxurious texture, but features all the lovely herbaceous notes that one want in a Cabernet. Pairs well with beef wellington simmered in truffle madeira sauce.

Cabernet Sauvignon 2023

Dark and brooding red berries and stone fruits, with hints of cherry tobacco and a light oakiness on the finish. This wine is the perfect companion for a cosy evening by the fire and served alongside a slow-roasted pork neck with pancetta and a pearl onion mustard cream sauce. Indulge in every sip and savour the rich complexity of flavours.

Calligraphy 2019

A harmonious composition, melodies of luscious red fruit, rich dark chocolate and warm sticky toffee pudding. This warm wine comes to life when paired with Seared Beef Brisket in Bourguignon sauce and the crackling of a cozy fire in the distance.
