cracking name, will definitely try and get a bottle at Christmas. was in Stellenbosch just recently - wonderful area, aside from all the negatives you'd associate with modern South African society. big fan of the pinotage since!

Tried it, quaffing wine, nothing more, but then that's all some of you peasants here need :duck:

Quaffing wine is all you need as when you are on the third bottle posh stuff is a waste of money.

I've only tried the white and thought it was delicious but in qualifying that, I am a big sauvignon blanc fan and wouldn't wash my golf clubs in too many other whites, barring a very dry riesling. I love Rioja but despise white Rioja, used to tolerate Albarino, now would give it away. Chardonnay? No thanks, though doubtless someone could put a really nice one in front of me.

I'm told by the man who gave me the white that the red is better. Must get the hold of some.
