According to winemaker Peter Finlayson, "2014 was a cracker of a vintage for white wine. We enjoyed a high summer rainfall, which surprisingly presented better than average fruit. These circumstances proved to be ideal and the resulting wines show wonderful charm and excellent fruit flavours."
Sans Barriques is an unwooded Chardonnay, ideal with crayfish and other fruits of the sea, at a cellar door price of R120. Crocodile's Lair/'Kaaimansgat' Chardonnay is a cellar door price of R126 and Blanc de Mer blend of Riesling at 69%, Viognier at 24% and Chardonnay at 4% and Chenin Blanc at 3%, sells at a cellar door price of R85.
